Question

Name the set(s) of numbers to which -10 belongs.

Answer 1

Answer:

-10 belongs to the set of  negative integers and rational numbers thus belongs to the set of real numbers also.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a fraction  $\frac{p}{q}$ where p and q are integers and $q\neq 0$

Negative integers  are the numbers less than zero but not a fraction and is  written with a minus sign. example = -2 , -99 , -40 etc.

Real numbers includes all rational numbers , integers, irrationals, natural numbers, whole numbers.

Thus, the given number -10 belongs to the set of rational numbers and -10 can be written as $-10=\frac{-10}{1}$ where -10 and 1 are integers and $1\neq 0$.

also, -10 belongs to the set of negative integers.

Thus, -10 belongs to the set of  negative integers and rational numbers thus belongs to the set of real numbers also.

 

Answer 2

-10 belongs to integers, rational numbers, and real numbers.
