The complement of a set refers to everything that is NOT in the set. A "universe" (a set from which elements may be taken) must always be specified (perhaps implicitly). For example, if your "universe" is the real numbers, and the set you are considering is 0
Irrational numbers may be denoted by Q' since they are the complement of Q in R, the set of Real numbers.
It is if we only consider integers. If we consider all real numbers, for example, it would not be.
Only if they are fractions in their simplified form.
In a certain sense, the set of complex numbers is "larger" than the set of real numbers, since the set of real numbers is a proper subset of it.

There is no representation for irrational numbers: they are represented as real numbers that are not rational. The set of real numbers is R and set of rational numbers is Q so that the set of irrational numbers is the complement if Q in R.

To calculate the one's complement sum of a set of numbers, you first add all the numbers together. Then, you take the one's complement of the result by flipping all the bits in the binary representation of the sum.

Only if they are fractions in their simplified form.
Performing a one's complement sum on a set of numbers results in the sum of the numbers with any carry-over from the most significant bit added back to the sum.

The derived set of a set of rational numbers is the set of all limit points of the original set. In other words, it includes all real numbers that can be approached arbitrarily closely by elements of the set. Since the rational numbers are dense in the real numbers, the derived set of a set of rational numbers is the set of all real numbers.
Are disjoint and complementary subsets of the set of real numbers.
