10 points if u can give me the definitions of..?

a natural number, a whole number, an integer, a rational number, an irrational number, a real number, and an imaginary number. You also have to tell me if positive or negatives or both belong to each category and if they go with fractions or decimals

Answer:
1. natural number: A positive integer 1, 2, 3, . Sometime 0 is included.
2. whole number: Nonnegative Integers
3. integer: any of the natural numbers (positive or negative) or zero
4. rational number: a number that can be expressed as a fraction p/q where p and q are integers and q is not equal to 0.
5. irrational number: a number that cannot be expressed as a fraction p/q for any integers p and q.
6. real number: The field of all rational and irrational numbers (all positive numbers, negative numbers, and zero).
7. imaginary number: a real number times i (which is the square root of negative 1).

Positive / Negative / fraction / decimal status:
1. natural number: positive, no fractions or decimals.
2. whole number: positive, no fractions or decimals.
3. integer: positive or negative, no fractions or decimals.
4. rational number: fraction. positive or negative.

a natural number is like 1 or 2 pretty much like a whole number. an integer can be a negative number like an imaginary number. a rational number is like a fraction. irrational numbers are decimals that go on forever
