Under what operation is the set of positive rational numbers not closed?
Subtraction.
Are rational numbers closed under subtraction?
Yes. They are closed under addition, subtraction, multiplication. The rational numbers WITHOUT ZERO are closed under division.
Which sets of numbers are closed under subtraction?
To be closed under an operation, when that operation is applied to two member of a set then the result must also be a member of the set. Thus the sets ℂ (Complex numbers), ℝ (Real Numbers), ℚ (Rational Numbers) and ℤ (integers) are closed under subtraction. ℤ+ (the positive integers), ℤ- (the negative integers) and ℕ (the natural numbers) are not closed under subtraction as subtraction can lead to a result which is not a member of the set.
Are rational numbers closed under division multiplication addition or subtraction?
Rational numbers are closed under addition, subtraction, multiplication. They are not closed under division, since you can't divide by zero. However, rational numbers excluding the zero are closed under division.
Can the operation subtraction have properties?
Not by itself. A mathematical operation has properties in the context of a set over which it is defined. It is possible to have a set over which properties are not valid.Having said that, the set of rational numbers is closed under subtraction, as is the set of real numbers or complex numbers.Multiplication is distributive over subtraction.
Is it true that The difference of two rational numbers always a rational number?
Yes. The rational numbers are a closed set with respect to subtraction.
Is the sum of rational numbers always rational?
Yes. In general, the set of rational numbers is closed under addition, subtraction, and multiplication; and the set of rational numbers without zero is closed under division.
Are rational numbers are closed under addition subtraction division or multiplication?
The set of rational numbers is closed under all 4 basic operations.
Which set is closed under the operation of subtraction?
The set of integers, rational numbers, real numbers, complex numbers are some of the sets. Also, many of their subsets: for example, all numbers divisible by 3.
What operation is the set of positive rational numbers not closed?
subtraction. Let's take 1/2 and subtract 3/4 which is great than 1/2 so the answer is negative and hence not a positive rational.
Why are rational numbers closed in subtraction?
Because when one rational number is subtracted from another rational number the result is a rational number. Don't forget that integers (ℤ) are a subset of rational numbers (ℚ).
Is set of numbers closed under natural and subtraction?
Please clarify what set you are talking about. There are several sets of numbers. Also, "closed under..." should be followed by an operation; "natural" is not an operation.
