Give example of closure property?

Add two positive integers and you ALWAYS have a positive integers. The positive integers are closed under addition.


What is the rule of addition of integers?

negetive integers are not closed under addition but positive integers are.


Are positive integers closed under division?

No, they are not.


Is the set of integers closed under subtraction?

yes, because an integer is a positive or negative, rational, whole number. when you subject integers, you still get a positive or negative, rational, whole number, which means that under the closure property of real numbers, the set of integers is closed under subtraction.


Is subtraction of even whole numbers closed?

Unfortunately, the term "whole numbers" is somewhat ambiguous - it means different things to different people. If you mean "integers", yes, it is closed. If you mean "positive integers" or "non-negative integers", no, it isn't.

IS natural numbers are closed under multiplication? Please answer as soon as possible. Thank You!


Are the sums and products of whole numbers always whole numbers?

Yes, the whole numbers are closed with respect to addition and multiplication (but not division).The term "whole numbers" is not always consistently defined, but is usually taken to mean either the positive integers or the non-negative integers (the positive integers and zero). In either of these cases, it also isn't closed with respect to subtraction. Some authors treat it as a synonym for "integers", in which case it is closed with respect to subtraction (but still not with respect to division).


What are non positive integers?

Non-positive integers are zero and the negative integers.


True or False The set of whole numbers is closed under subtraction Why?

A set is closed under a particular operation (like division, addition, subtraction, etc) if whenever two elements of the set are combined by the operation, the answer is always an element of the original set. Examples: I) The positive integers are closed under addition, because adding any two positive integers gives another positive integer. II) The integers are notclosed under division, because it is not true that an integer divided by an integer is an integer (as in the case of 1 divided by 5, for example). In this case, the answer depends on the definition of "whole numbers". If this term is taken to mean positive whole numbers (1, 2, 3, ...), then the answer is no, they are not closed under subtraction, because it is possible to subtract two positive whole numbers and get an answer that is not a positive whole number (as in the case of 1 - 10 = -9, which is not a positive whole number)


What does the word closure property for addition mean?

It means that given a set, if x and y are any members of the set then x+y is also a member of the set. For example, positive integers are closed under addition, but they are not closed under subtraction, since 5 and 8 are members of the set of positive integers but 5 - 8 = -3 is not a positive integer.


When the negative integers the positive integers and 0 are combined the integers are formed?

Negative integers, zero and the positive integers, together form the set of integers.


Are all integers positive?

The set of integers includes negative integers as well as positive integers. It also includes the number zero which is neither negative nor positive.
