Incorrect
I apologize for the incorrect response. The correct statement among the options provided is:
Whole numbers include all positive integers and zero.
Give me the answer
The correct statement is: All integers are also rational numbers.
The statement "All integers are also rational numbers" is true about the relationships between number sets.
To determine which statement is true about the relationships between number sets, let's analyze each statement one by one:
Statement 1: Whole numbers include all positive integers and negative integers.
To verify this statement, we need to understand the definitions of whole numbers and integers. Whole numbers include all positive integers (1, 2, 3, ...) and zero. Integers, on the other hand, include all positive integers, negative integers (-1, -2, -3, ...), and zero. Hence, the statement is correct since whole numbers include both positive and negative integers.
Statement 2: All integers are also rational numbers.
To check this statement, we need to understand what integers and rational numbers are. Integers are the set of whole numbers and their negative counterparts, including zero. Rational numbers, however, are any number that can be expressed as a fraction or a ratio of two integers (p/q) where q is not equal to zero. Since all integers can be expressed as a fraction (p/1), they are also rational numbers. Thus, the statement is true.
Statement 3: Some irrational numbers are also integers.
Irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction or a ratio of two integers. Integers, on the other hand, are whole numbers and their negative counterparts, including zero. Therefore, it is not possible for an irrational number to also be an integer. Hence, the statement is false.
Statement 4: Not all natural numbers are real numbers.
Natural numbers include all positive integers starting from one and extending infinitely (1, 2, 3, ...). Real numbers, on the other hand, include both rational and irrational numbers. Since all natural numbers can be expressed as a rational number, they are also considered real numbers. Therefore, the statement is false.
In summary, the statements that are true about the relationships between number sets are:
- Whole numbers include all positive integers and negative integers.
- All integers are also rational numbers.
The statement "Some irrational numbers are also integers" is false. Additionally, the statement "Not all natural numbers are real numbers" is also false.
