Q. Which of the following describe 3p? Select all that apply.(1) Real number(2) Integer(3) Whole number(4) Natural number(5) Number
Identify Variable Representation: Identify what 3p represents given that p is an unspecified variable.3p means three times some variable p. Without additional information about p, we cannot determine the exact nature of 3p. However, we can discuss the properties it would have if p were certain types of numbers.
Real Number Determination: Determine if 3p is a real number.If p is a real number, then 3p is also a real number because the product of two real numbers is a real number. Since all integers, whole numbers, and natural numbers are also real numbers, 3p is at least a real number.
Integer Possibility Check: Determine if 3p is an integer.3p is an integer if p is an integer because the product of an integer and a whole number (3 in this case) is an integer. However, without knowing if p is an integer, we cannot confirm that 3p is an integer.
Whole Number Evaluation: Determine if 3p is a whole number.3p is a whole number if p is a whole number. Whole numbers are non-negative integers (0,1,2,3,…). Since we do not know if p is a whole number, we cannot confirm that 3p is a whole number.
Natural Number Assessment: Determine if 3p is a natural number.3p is a natural number if p is a natural number. Natural numbers are the positive integers (1,2,3,…). Since we do not know if p is a natural number, we cannot confirm that 3p is a natural number.
Number Verification: Determine if 3p is a number.3p is a number because it is the product of a number (3) and a variable (p). Regardless of what type of number p is, 3p will always be a number.
