Exam questions on Number systems and sets of numbers

  1. Consider the numbers in the set S={−3, 0, 25, 16, 7, 0.3˙, π}S=\{-3,\ 0,\ \frac{2}{5},\ \sqrt{16},\ \sqrt{7},\ 0.\dot{3},\ \pi\}.
    Write down the elements of SS that are rational but not integers.2 marks
  2. Let A={x∈Z:−2≤x<3}A=\{x\in\mathbb{Z}:-2\le x<3\} and B={0, 2, 4, 6}B=\{0,\ 2,\ 4,\ 6\}.
    Write down A∪BA\cup B and state the value of n(A∪B)n(A\cup B).2 marks
  3. Consider the numbers 49\sqrt{49}, 48\sqrt{48}, −94-\frac{9}{4}, 0.450.45, π2\frac{\pi}{2} and −25-\sqrt{25}.
    For each of 49\sqrt{49}, −25-\sqrt{25} and π2\frac{\pi}{2}, state the smallest of the sets N\mathbb{N}, Z\mathbb{Z} and Q\mathbb{Q} that contains it, or state that it is irrational.3 marks
