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

- 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.

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.
