Of the following numbers, which is an integer but does not belong in either of the subsets of integers: −13, 0, or 13?(1 point)

1 answer

To determine which number among −13, 0, or 13 is an integer but does not belong in either of the subsets of integers, we need to clarify the integer subsets typically considered. The two common subsets of integers are:

  1. Positive Integers: This subset includes numbers like {1, 2, 3, ...}.
  2. Negative Integers: This subset includes numbers like {..., -3, -2, -1}.

The number 0 is considered neither a positive nor a negative integer, so it does not belong in either of these subsets.

Thus, the answer is 0.
