Is a negative number unreal?
No, they are quite real. It is just that in some situations it makes sense to use negative numbers, in others not.
What are the differences between real numbers and imaginary numbers?
The set of real numbers is not closed under powers. That is to say, there are some equations of the form y = xa which do not have a solution within the set. Typical example: x is negative, a = 0.5
What is subset of real number?
There are lots of subsets; some of the ones that are commonly used are: rational numbers; irrational numbers; positive numbers; negative numbers; non-negative numbers; integers; natural numbers. Remember that a subset simply means a set that is contained in another set. It may even be the same set. So the real numbers are a subset of themselves. The number {3} is a subset of the reals. All the examples above are subsets as well. The set {0,1, 2+i, 2-i} is NOT a subset of the real numbers. The real numbers are a subset of the complex numbers.
What are some of the everyday uses of negative numbers?
Temperature in cold areas are negative. Below sea level is negative altitude. Degrees left on the world coordinates.
What is the combination of real numbers in math?
It depends on the combination. Real numbers are closed with respect to arithmetical operations (+, -, *, /), as well as integer powers (exponents). So a combination of real numbers using any of these operators will yield a real number. But the set is not closed with respect to some fractional powers - for example, the square root of a negative number is not real.It depends on the combination.
