Answers

  1. Answer: rational, integer
    Step-by-step explanation:
    -10 is rational number because it can be expressed as a fraction of integers, such as -20/2. Since it is rational, it cannot be irrational. They are mutually exclusive.
    -10 is an integer. The set of Integers, often denoted by capital Z is as follows: Z = { 0, ±1, ±2, ±3, ±4, … }.
    -10 is not a ‘Whole’ number, as these are the nonnegative integers –> 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, …..
    -10 is not a ‘Natural’ number, as these are the positive integers –> 1, 2, 3, 4, …..
    I hope this helps.

  2. Hi, there.
     ______
    What kind of number is -10? It’s a negative.
    Which sets include negatives?
    • Integers
    • Rational
    Whole & Natural are almost the same set, only whole numbers have something that natural numbers don’t – the number 0.
    Irrationals are basically numbers that cannot be written as fractions.
    -10 can be written as a fraction, like this:
    \boldsymbol{\dfrac{-10}{1}}
    Answer:
    \boldsymbol{-10 \ is \ an \ integer \ and \ a \ rational \ number.}
    Hope the answer – and explanation – made sense,
    happy studying!!
