What is Closure property?
Answers
Answer :-
For two rational numbers say x and y the results of addition, subtraction and multiplication operations give a rational number. We can say that rational numbers are closed under addition, subtraction and multiplication. For example:
(7/6)+(2/5) = 47/30
(5/6) – (1/3) = 1/2
(2/5). (3/7) = 6/35
Do you know why division is not under closure property?
The division is not under closure property because division by zero is not defined. We can also say that except ‘0’ all numbers are closed under division.
Answer:
Closure Property
The closure property means that a set is closed for some mathematical operation. That is, a set is closed with respect to that operation if the operation can always be completed with elements in the set. Thus, 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. (Natural numbers are defined as the set: [1, 2, 3, 4, . . .].) It is not closed with respect to division because the quotients 6/2 and 4/8, for example, cannot be computed without using odd numbers (6/2 = 3) or fractions (4/8 = ½g;), which are not members of the set.
