Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. We are dealing with different sets of numbers: natural numbers, whole numbers, integers, and rational numbers.
2. We need to determine the truth value of each statement based on these sets.

STEP 2

1. Define the sets of numbers.
2. Evaluate each statement using the definitions of these sets.

STEP 3

Define the sets of numbers: - **Natural Numbers**: Typically the set {1,2,3,}\{1, 2, 3, \ldots\}. Some definitions include 00. - **Whole Numbers**: The set {0,1,2,3,}\{0, 1, 2, 3, \ldots\}. - **Integers**: The set {,3,2,1,0,1,2,3,}\{\ldots, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, \ldots\}. - **Rational Numbers**: Numbers that can be expressed as a fraction ab\frac{a}{b} where aa and bb are integers and b0b \neq 0.

STEP 4

Evaluate each statement:
Statement 1: All integers are included in the set of natural numbers. - **False**: Integers include negative numbers and zero, which are not part of the natural numbers.
Statement 2: All whole numbers are included in the set of integers. - **True**: Whole numbers are non-negative integers, which are a subset of integers.
Statement 3: All rational numbers are included in the set of whole numbers. - **False**: Rational numbers include fractions and decimals, which are not whole numbers.
Statement 4: 29\frac{2}{9} is included in the set of integers. - **False**: 29\frac{2}{9} is a fraction and not a whole number.
Statement 5: -3 is included in the set of rational numbers. - **True**: -3 can be expressed as 31\frac{-3}{1}, which is a rational number.
Statement 6: 35\frac{3}{5} is included in the set of rational numbers. - **True**: 35\frac{3}{5} is a fraction, which fits the definition of a rational number.
