Is zero a real number?

Question

IS IT?

Answer 1

YES.

Answer 2

zero is both! The natural numbers
are to be thought of as the "counting numbers." They are 1,2,3,4,5,...,
i.e. the numbers you'd use to start counting a bunch of objects. You
wouldn't use 0 to start counting, because if there are zero objects, you
don't count them.

To be honest, I never learned a nice way to think of the whole numbers,
but I think the best way is to think of them as "quantity numbers."
Someone could ask "how many pork chops do you have?," and then you could
answer with any "counting number," or if you don't have any pork chops,
you tell them "zero." The set of numbers you can use to answer this
kind of question is the set of whole numbers.

With all this in mind, I would still say that zero is definitely a
number. I would even say that -5 is a number, Sqrt{2}, Sqrt{-2}, 3+5i,
and Pi are all numbers. It's just that some of them aren't certain
kinds of numbers.

To tell you the truth, I probably wouldn't try to shield kids from those
more exotic numbers either, because they can probably understand more
than most people think they can; we don't get smarter when we get older,
we just know more stuff. But that's just my personal bias on the
matter.

good luck, a trick question i see.....

Answer 3

Ok first of all, she probably didn't mean if the physical number 0 was in existence. There are groupings of number : The largest and the one that contains every number except imaginary (and by imaginary I don't mean not in existence) The "REAL" number category, then futher broken down into rational and irrational, (most numbers aren't in irrational but still real) then whole, 0-infinity, then counting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

In conclusion yes, 0 is a real number

Answer 4

0 (zero) is both a number — or, more precisely, a numeral representing a number — and a numerical digit. It represents the concept of nothing; an absence of other values, and is used as a placeholder in place value systems. Zero was the last digit to be incorporated in most numeral systems. In the English language, zero may also be called nil when a number, o/oh when a numeral, and nought/naught in either context.

Answer 5

i think of that's verging on a philosophical question particularly than a maths one. I additionally think of that the instructor is looking homework this is designed for the discern no longer the youngster. It particularly irritates me while that's complete. on an analogous time because it quite is an thrilling question is it particularly honest to assume an 8 three hundred and sixty 5 days previous to try this on their own? Or realistically is it the discern it quite is predicted to?! i might advise an in the past answer is a solid one - that 0 is a genuine variety yet an entire load of no longer something remains no longer something. i might additionally ask the instructor what their answer is!

Answer 6

of course 0 is a real number.

okay

all integers are real number,
since zero is an integer,
therefore, zero is a real number.

No doubt about it.

Answer 7

Yes, every number you can imagine but imaginaries is a real number.

Answer 8

yes, very real. WIthout zero's how could you tell 1,000 from 1 ?

Answer 9

Yes.

In order for a number to be imaginary, it needs to be a multiple or function of i, the imaginary unit.

0 is not.

Answer 10

yes, the only number that makes any sense

Answer 11

Zero is a place holder.
