What is closed and not-closed under addition?
The set of even numbers is closed under addition, the set of odd numbers is not.
Why are odd integers closed under multiplication but not under addition?
The numbers are not closed under addition because whole numbers, even integers, and natural numbers are closed.
What sets of numbers are closed under addition?
I know that whole numbers, integers, negative numbers, positive numbers, and even numbers are. Anyone feel free to correct me.
Are real numbers closed under addition?
yes because real numbers are any number ever made and they can be closed under addition
Is the set of all negative numbers closed under the operation of multiplication Explain why or why not?
No. For a set to be closed with respect to an operation, the result of applying the operation to any elements of the set also must be in the set. The set of negative numbers is not closed under multiplication because, for example (-1)*(-2)=2. In that example, we multiplied two numbers that were in the set (negative numbers) and the product was not in the set (it is a positive number). On the other hand, the set of all negative numbers is closed under the operation of addition because the sum of any two negative numbers is a negatoive number.
Is this set of negative numbers closed under multiplication or addition?
Yes. The empty set is closed under the two operations.
What is closed and not-closed under addition?
The set of even numbers is closed under addition, the set of odd numbers is not.
What is the set of whole numbers closed by?
If you mean the set of non-negative integers ("whole numbers" is a bit ambiguous in this sense), it is closed under addition and multiplication. If you mean "integers", the set is closed under addition, subtraction, multiplication.
Why are odd integers closed under multiplication but not under addition?
The numbers are not closed under addition because whole numbers, even integers, and natural numbers are closed.
When are complex numbers closed under addition?
Quite simply, they are closed under addition. No "when".
Is a rational number closed under addition?
No. A number cannot be closed under addition: only a set can be closed. The set of rational numbers is closed under addition.
What sets of numbers are closed under addition?
I know that whole numbers, integers, negative numbers, positive numbers, and even numbers are. Anyone feel free to correct me.
Is the set of real numbers closed under addition?
Yes. The set of real numbers is closed under addition, subtraction, multiplication. The set of real numbers without zero is closed under division.
Are real numbers closed under addition?
yes because real numbers are any number ever made and they can be closed under addition

Are rational numbers closed under division multiplication addition or subtraction?
Rational numbers are closed under addition, subtraction, multiplication. They are not closed under division, since you can't divide by zero. However, rational numbers excluding the zero are closed under division.
Is the set of odd numbers closed under addition?
no
