Rational numbers are closed under addition, subtraction, multiplication. They are not closed under division, since you can't divide by zero. However, rational numbers excluding the zero are closed under division.
Real numbers are closed under addition and subtraction. To get a number outside the real number system you would have to use square root.
The answer depends on how the numbers are combined: addition, subtraction or multiplication.
Integers are closed under subtraction, meaning that any subtraction problem with integers has a solution in the set of integers.
Yes. The entire set of natural numbers is closed under addition (but not subtraction). So are the even numbers (but not the odd numbers), the multiples of 3, of 4, etc.
No.
A set of real numbers is closed under subtraction when you take two real numbers and subtract , the answer is always a real number .
Yes. They are closed under addition, subtraction, multiplication. The rational numbers WITHOUT ZERO are closed under division.

To be closed under an operation, when that operation is applied to two member of a set then the result must also be a member of the set. Thus the sets ℂ (Complex numbers), ℝ (Real Numbers), ℚ (Rational Numbers) and ℤ (integers) are closed under subtraction. ℤ+ (the positive integers), ℤ- (the negative integers) and ℕ (the natural numbers) are not closed under subtraction as subtraction can lead to a result which is not a member of the set.

Yes, they are.
Real numbers are closed under addition and subtraction. To get a number outside the real number system you would have to use square root.
It depends on your definition of whole numbers. The classic definition of whole numbers is the set of counting numbers and zero. In this case, the set of whole numbers is not closed under subtraction, because 3-6 = -3, and -3 is not a member of this set. However, if you use whole numbers as the set of all integers, then whole numbers would be closed under subtraction.
Subtraction.
No; here's a counterexample to show that the set of irrational numbers is NOT closed under subtraction: pi - pi = 0. pi is an irrational number. If you subtract it from itself, you get zero, which is a rational number. Closure would require that the difference(answer) be an irrational number as well, which it isn't. Therefore the set of irrational numbers is NOT closed under subtraction.
No.A set is closed under subtraction if when you subtract any two numbers in the set, the answer is always a member of the set.The natural numbers are 1,2,3,4, ... If you subtract 5 from 3 the answer is -2 which is not a natural number.
