Example Question #33 : Integers And Types Of Numbers
What kind of number is 
I. rational
II. irrational
III. integer
IV. imaginary
V. composite
III and V only
II, IV
I, III, V
I and III only
II only
I, III, V
Even though it's a radical, we can simplify
Check the answer.
The answer is 
Thus, the final answer is I, III, V.
Example Question #32 : Integers And Types Of Numbers
Which is a square number?
Square numbers have one factor. If that factor is multiplied by itself, then the number becomes a perfect square. The only number in the selection that meets this requirement is 
Example Question #33 : Integers And Types Of Numbers
What are odd numbers?
Integers that have a ones digit that ends in 
Integers that have a ones digit that ends in 
Integers that have a ones digit that ends in 
Integers that have a ones digit that ends in 
All the digits of the integer must have 
Integers that have a ones digit that ends in
In order to determine if a number is odd, we will check the ones digit. It must contain

Example Question #34 : Integers And Types Of Numbers
What is the product of two nonidentical prime numbers?
Zero
Cubic number
Prime number
Square number
Composite number
Composite number
When you take two prime numbers, you are creating a composite number. A compositie number has at least one more factor than one and itself. Since you multiply two prime numbers, you are increasing the factors of the new number.
Example Question #35 : Integers And Types Of Numbers
What do you get when you divide two negative integers?
One
Zero
Integers
Irrational number
Rational numbers
Rational numbers
For example, we can take the negative integers 
Example Question #40 : Integers And Types Of Numbers
Given the following set of numbers:
Which numbers in the set are whole numbers?
A whole number is any number without a fraction or decimal, but negative numbers are NOT whole numbers. Therefore, the only correct choices from this set are
