Questions and Answers

Explain why it is impossible to list all of the rational numbers between 1 and 5.

There are infinitely many rational numbers between any two given numbers, making it impossible to list them all.

Is the set of whole numbers between 0 and 30 denser than the set of rational numbers between 0 and 30? Explain your reasoning.

No, the set of rational numbers is denser. Rational numbers can be placed infinitely close to one another, while the whole numbers have gaps between them.

What is the density property, and how do you demonstrate it for the set of real numbers?

The density property means that between any two numbers in a set, you can always find another number within that set. For real numbers, you can demonstrate this by considering any two real numbers and then finding their average, which will always be another real number between them.

Identify three sets of numbers that possess the density property.

Explain why the set of even integers does not have the density property.

<p>The set of even integers does not have the density property because there are gaps between consecutive even numbers. For example, there is no even integer between 2 and 4.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What is the limit of the sequence: 0.3, 0.33, 0.333, 0.3333, ...?

<p>The limit of the sequence is 1/3.</p> Signup and view all the answers

How many real numbers are there between 1 and 10? Explain your reasoning.

<p>There are infinitely many real numbers between 1 and 10. Because the set of real numbers includes all rational and irrational numbers, there are infinitely many possibilities between any two real numbers.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Why is it easier to list all of the natural numbers from 1 through 5 compared to listing all of the rational numbers within that same range?

<p>Natural numbers are whole numbers and there are only a finite number of them within a given range. Rational numbers include fractions and decimals, and between any two rational numbers, there are infinitely many more.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Numbers Between 0 and 1

  • Examples of numbers between 0 and 1 vary, but some possibilities are 0.5, 0.75, 0.1.

Rational Numbers Between 3 and 4

  • Examples of rational numbers between 3 and 4 vary, but some possibilities are 3.5, 3.75, 3.25, 3.125.

Natural Numbers from 1 through 5

  • 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Rational Numbers from 1 through 5

  • There are infinitely many rational numbers between 1 and 5, making it impossible to list all of them.

Real Numbers from 1 through 5

  • It is impossible to list all real numbers between 1 and 5, as there are infinitely many.

Counting Numbers and Fractions

  • a) There are 10 natural numbers from 1 to 10.
  • b) There are 11 whole numbers from 0 to 10.
  • c) There are infinitely many rational numbers between 1 and 10.
  • d) There are infinitely many irrational numbers between 1 and 10.
  • e) There are infinitely many real numbers between 1 and 10.

Denser Sets

  • a) Rational numbers between 0 and 30 are denser than whole numbers between 0 and 30.
  • b) Real numbers between -10 and 10 are denser than integers between -10 and 10.
  • c) Natural numbers between 1 and 100 are denser than prime numbers between 1 and 100.
  • d) Irrational numbers between -50 and -20 are denser than even numbers between -50 and -20.

Density Property

  • A set has the density property if between any two distinct elements in the set, there is always another element in the set.

Sets with Density Property

  • Rational numbers
  • Real numbers

Even Integers and Density

  • The set of even integers has the density property. Between any two even integers, there is always another even integer.

Sequence Limits

  • a) The limit of the sequence 7.1, 7.01, 7.001, ... is 7.
  • b) The limit of the sequence 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, ... is 0.
  • c) The limit of the sequence 5/1, 5/4, 5/9, ... is 0.
  • d) The limit of the sequence 0.3, 0.33, 0.333, ... is 1/3.
  • e) The limit of the sequence 2.6, 2.66, 2.666, ... is 8/3.
  • f) The limit of the sequence 1.4, 1.44, 1.444, ... is 14/9.
