Answer

(i) rational : -8, 0, 57\dfrac{5}{7}, 4.28, 3, 815-\dfrac{8}{15}, 0.075

Reason : All numbers that can be expressed in the form pq\dfrac{p}{q}, q ≠ 0 and p, q are integers are called rational numbers.

(ii) irrational : 5{\sqrt5}, 18-{\sqrt{18}}, 32{\sqrt{32}}, π

Reason : Numbers that cannot be expressed in the form pq\dfrac{p}{q} are called irrational numbers.

(iii) positive integers : 3

Reason :Positive integers are whole numbers greater than 0, excluding fractions and decimals.

(iv) negative integers : -8

Reason :Negative integers are whole numbers less than 0, excluding fractions and decimals.

(v) neither positive nor negative : 0

Reason :The number 0 is neutral and does not fall under positive or negative categories.
