Answer: (1) d, f (2) c, d, f (3) e, f (4) a, b, c, d, f (5) e, f
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
a) Natural Numbers: 1, 2, 3, ...
b) Whole Numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3, ... <em>(add zero to the Natural numbers)</em>
c) Integers: ..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ... <em>(add negatives to the Whole numbers)</em>
d) Rationals: Add terminating and repeating decimals to Integers.

e) Irrationals: Non-repeating decimals that are non-terminating. <em>This is its own category so cannot be a Rational number or above.</em>
f) Real Numbers: ALL of the above (a - e) are Real numbers.
1) -5.2 has a terminating decimal so it is a RATIONAL number.
2) -4 is below zero so is an INTEGER which means it is also a RATIONAL #
3) -4.3212... is a non-terminating decimal so it is an IRRATIONAL number
4) = 2 is a NATURAL number which means it is also a WHOLE number, INTEGER, and RATIONAL number.
5) is a non-terminating decimal so it is an IRRATIONAL number
