Give two examples of each type of number: real, natural, integers, rational and irrational. Explain step-by-step how to simplify -5(2x – 3y + 6z – 10)

9514 1404 393

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Any positive integer is all of real, natural, integer, and rational. A couple of examples of positive integers are 2, and 3.

Any non-complex number is real: -98.6, +29.7π.

Natural numbers are positive integers: 89, 10103.

Integers are any positive or negative number that has no fractional part. Zero is also an integer. A couple are -3, 0.

A rational number is one that can be expressed as the ratio of two integers. Any finite decimal number and any repeating decimal number are rational numbers. A couple of these are 22/7 and -0.0037285.

An irrational number is a number that cannot be expressed as the ratio of two integers. A cube root of a number that is not a perfect cube will be irrational, for example, The same is true of other roots. √2, ∛-5 are irrational. Pi (π) is a famous irrational number, along with 'e', the base of natural logarithms.

B) The terms inside parentheses are unlike, so cannot be combined. The only way this expression can be simplified is by removing the parentheses using the distributive property.

  -5(2x -3y +6z -10) = (-5)(2x) +(-5)(-3y) +(-5)(6z) +(-5)(-10)

  = -10x +15y -30z +50
