Q. Which of the following describe −7? Select all that apply.Multi-select Choices:(A) real number(B) integer(C) rational number(D) irrational number
Real Number: Determine if −7 is a real number.A real number is any number that can be found on the number line, including both positive and negative numbers, as well as zero. Since −7 can be located on the number line, it is a real number.
Integer: Determine if −7 is an integer.An integer is any whole number, including negative whole numbers, zero, and positive whole numbers. Since −7 is a whole number and it is negative, it is an integer.
Rational Number: Determine if −7 is a rational number.A rational number is any number that can be expressed as the quotient or fractionqp of two integers, where q=0. Since −7 can be expressed as 1−7, where −7 and 1 are both integers and 1=0, −7 is a rational number.
Irrational Number: Determine if −7 is an irrational number.An irrational number is a number that cannot be expressed as a simple fraction, meaning it's a number that cannot be written as a ratio of two integers. Irrational numbers have non-terminating and non-repeating decimal expansions. Since −7 can be expressed as a ratio of two integers (as shown in Step 3), it is not an irrational number.
