Are real numbers closed under addition and subtraction?
Real numbers are closed under addition and subtraction. To get a number outside the real number system you would have to use square root.
Why are the set of real numbers is not commuted under subtraction and addition?
Real numbers are commutative (if that is what the question means) under addition. Subtraction is a binary operation defined so that it is not commutative.
What are the numbers in division mutliplication addition subtraction?
You can have counting number in multiplication and addition. All integers are in multiplication, addition and subtraction. All rational numbers are in all four. Real numbers, complex numbers and other larger sets are consistent with the four operations.
Can the operation subtraction have properties?
Not by itself. A mathematical operation has properties in the context of a set over which it is defined. It is possible to have a set over which properties are not valid.Having said that, the set of rational numbers is closed under subtraction, as is the set of real numbers or complex numbers.Multiplication is distributive over subtraction.
How are complex numbers and real numbers related?
Complex numbers extend the concept of real numbers by introducing an imaginary unit, denoted as "i." Real numbers can be considered a subset of complex numbers with the imaginary part equal to zero. Complex numbers include both a real and imaginary component, allowing for operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
