Question 8 • Algebra II

Which of the following gives all of the sets that contain negative 1 half ?

Answer
A
the set of all natural numbers and the set of all irrational numbers
B
the set of all integers and the set of rational numbers
C
the set of all natural numbers, the set of rational numbers, and the set of all real numbers
D
the set of all rational numbers and the set of all real numbers

Explanation

Negative one half can be written as a ratio of integers, −1/2, so it is a rational number. Every rational number is also a real number. It is not an integer, natural number, or irrational number, so the complete set is the rational numbers and the real numbers.
