The sum of two rational numbers is rational.From there, it follows that the sum of a finite set of rational numbers is also rational.
Finite, no.
3.14 has a finite number of digits. All numbers with a finite number of digits are rational. Pi has an infinite number of digits, AND the digits don't repeat in a regular pattern. (Numbers with repeating decimals are rational as well.)
Yes - the set of integers is a subset of the set of rational numbers.
A finite set is a set that has numbers you can count. Its not like infinite with no end it has an end.
The sum of any finite set of rational numbers is a rational number.
Start with the set of Natural numbers = N.Combine these with negative natural numbers and you get the set of Integers = Z.Combine these with ratios of two integers, the second of which is positive, and you get the set of Rational numbers = Q.Start afresh with numbers which are not rational, nor the roots of finite polynomial equations. This is the set of transcendental numbers.Combine these with the non-rational roots of finite polynomial equations and you have the set of Irrational Numbers.Combine the rational and irrational numbers and you have the set of Real numbers, R.

This is the set of transcendental numbers.Combine these with the non-rational roots of finite polynomial equations and you have the set of irrational numbers.Any rational or irrational number is classified as an element of the set of Real numbers, R.
Finite, no.
No, it is not.
3.14 has a finite number of digits. All numbers with a finite number of digits are rational. Pi has an infinite number of digits, AND the digits don't repeat in a regular pattern. (Numbers with repeating decimals are rational as well.)
The set of rational numbers includes the set of natural numbers but they are not the same. All natural numbers are rational, not all rational numbers are natural.
Yes - the set of integers is a subset of the set of rational numbers.
The empty set is a finite set.
