Probably the ancient Egyptians who discovered that the diagonal of a unit square was not a rational number. And then discovered other such numbers.
Yes it will be. The set of real numbers can be divided into two distinct sets: rational and irrational. So if it is not rational, then it is irrational.
Integers are rational. In the set of real numbers, every number is either rational or irrational; a number can't be both or neither.
To show that the set of irrational numbers is uncountable, you can use Cantor's diagonal argument. First, assume that the set of irrational numbers is countable and list them in a sequence. By constructing a new number that differs from each listed irrational number at a specific decimal place, you can demonstrate that this new number is also irrational and not in the original list, leading to a contradiction. Thus, the set of irrational numbers must be uncountable.
No. You can well multiply two irrational numbers and get a result that is not an irrational number.
The set of irrational numbers is NOT denoted by Q.Q denotes the set of rational numbers. The set of irrational numbers is not denoted by any particular letter but by R - Q where R is the set of real numbers.
No, a number is either rational or irrational
Its a null set.
Yes it will be. The set of real numbers can be divided into two distinct sets: rational and irrational. So if it is not rational, then it is irrational.
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. Irrational and rational numbers can be non-negative.

The set of real numbers is defined as the union of all rational and irrational numbers. Thus, the irrational numbers are a subset of the real numbers. Therefore, BY DEFINITION, every irrational number is a real number.
The intersection between rational and irrational numbers is the empty set (Ø) since no rational number (x∈ℚ) is also an irrational number (x∉ℚ)
Irrational.
