Answer:

Odd numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Closed under addition means you will able to take any two numbers from whatever set is mentioned and add them to get a number in that same set.

(If I say counting numbers, I'm still talking about the natural numbers.)

So let's look at the natural numbers {1,2,3,4,5,6,...}.

1+1=2

1+2=3

1+3=4

...

6+19=25

Let a and b be counting numbers.

a+b is still going to be a counting number.

You will always get a counting number when adding two counting numbers. So the counting numbers (also known as the natural numbers) is closed under addition.

Let's skip down to odd numbers because the other sets are similar to the first.

Let's add a pair of odd numbers.

3+5=8

8 is not odd so the odd numbers are not closed under addition because we will not always get an odd number. In fact, you will never get a odd number, but the thing is you just need one example to show it is not closed.

(2k+1)+(2a+1)

2(k+a)+2

2(k+a+1) is even so adding two odds will always give you an even.

nikdorinn [45]
1) This is a combination, so use ⁴⁰C₂.
     ⁴⁰C₂ = 780
     There are 780 handshakes in total.

2) I got my solution by using the combinations formula. Or another way you              could do this is to add up... 39 + 38 + 37 + 36 + 35 + 34 + 33 + 32 + 31... +1.          You will end up with 780 (I did this to double check my work).

3) The quickest way to figure this out if Drake invited 1,000 people is to use the       natural numbers formula = n(n+ 1)/2.
     Plug the numbers in: 999(1000)/2 = 499,500 
     If Drake invited 1,000 people, there would be 499,500 handshakes.
