Answer 2

Answer:

The largest integer less than -8 is -9

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The set of integers Z is given as

{ - 10 ,- 9 ,- 8,... ,- 1,0,1,2,...}

2) The numbers less than -8 are those which appears on the left side of -8 on the number line.

Those numbers are -9, -10, -11,... and so on.

Therefore the set of numbers less than -8 is

{...., - 11 ,- 10 ,- 9}

3) For negative numbers, lesser the value larger the number. That means between -10 and -9 , -9 is larger although the value 9 is smaller than 10.

Similarly -9 is larger than -11 also.

For negative numbers, the nearer the number is to zero the larger it is.

Therefore -9 is larger than all the numbers in the set mentioned in step 2.

So the largest integer less than -8 is -9
