closure property introduction
Answers
Answer:
a set either has or lacks closure with respect to a given operation. For example, the set of even natural numbers, [2, 4, 6, 8, . . .], is closed with respect to addition because the sum of any two of them is another even natural number, which is also a member of the set.Ap
Step-by-step explanation:
Closure describes the case when the results of a mathematical operation are always defined. For example, in ordinary arithmetic, addition has closure. Whenever one adds two numbers, the answer is a number. ... In the natural numbers, subtraction does not have closure, but in the integers subtraction does have closure.
Answer:
Closure property of addition:
if a and b are two integers, then a+b will also be an integer.
example, 10 + (-9) = +1,
(-8) + 19 = +11,
(-3) + (-3) = -6, all are integers.
Closure property of substraction:
if a and b are two integers, then a - b and b - a both are integers.
example: 2 and (-8) are two integers.
(2) - (-8) = 10 which is an integer.
Similarly, (-8) - (2) = (-8) + (-2) = -10 which is an integer.
