Step-by-step solution for: Classifying Numbers in the Real Number System Graphic Organizer ...
To solve the problem, we need to classify each number into one of the following categories:
1. Natural Numbers (ℕ): Positive integers starting from 1.
2. Whole Numbers (W): Non-negative integers starting from 0.
3. Integers (ℤ): All whole numbers and their negatives.
4. Rational Numbers (ℚ): Numbers that can be expressed as a ratio of two integers \( \frac{p}{q} \) where \( q \neq 0 \).
5. Irrational Numbers: Numbers that cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers and have non-repeating, non-terminating decimal expansions.
6. Real Numbers (ℝ): All rational and irrational numbers.
Let's classify each number step by step:
---
- \( \sqrt{25} = 5 \)
- Classification: Natural Number, Whole Number, Integer, Rational Number, Real Number
