In mathematics, "positive" refers to numbers greater than zero, including whole numbers, fractions, and decimals, while "negative" denotes numbers less than zero. Positive numbers indicate a gain or an increase, whereas negative numbers represent a loss or a decrease. For instance, in a number line, positive values are found to the right of zero, and negative values are to the left. This distinction is crucial in various mathematical operations and real-world applications.

You cannot. The diagonal of a unit square cannot be represented by a rational number. However, because rational numbers are infinitely dense, you can get as close to an irrational number as you like even if you cannot get to it. If this approximation is adequate than you are able to represent the real world using rational numbers.

No. Inventory and engineering work need negative numbers to measure. Also, how can we measure the temperature if it's freezing cold without negative numbers? Integers are needed for calculations and measurements in this world.
Negative numbers do not show up much in the real world unless someone is trying to figure out a problem. The numbers were first discovered by the Indian civilization.

Temperature in cold areas are negative. Below sea level is negative altitude. Degrees left on the world coordinates.
Sometimes those negative numbers are used like when reading the temperature from the thermometer and it's below 0°C
