WHY?
Because whole numbers are the numbers starting from 0,1,2,3,4,5 and so on…means to say that the negatives like -1,-2,-3,etc are not included.
Integers include the positives and the negatives,,,
integers are 1,2,3,4 and so as -1,-2,-3,-4
get it?
=D
an irrational number is anything that can’t be expressed as a ration of two integers… it repeats forever like pi for example
a rational number is an integer or a fraction can be a rational number
A whole number is quite simply a postive integer or zero.
So A is true
So B is true
So C is False because an integer can also be a negative number.
Hope that makes sense… I’ve just known this stuff since I was in high school. So its hard to put it down.. you just kinda know
A. is a restatement of B.
C. is False, whole numbers are only non-negative thus -1 is an integer but not a whole number.
