NegativeRationals

NegativeRationals

represents the domain of strictly negative rational numbers, as in x∈NegativeRationals.

Details

  • x∈NegativeRationals evaluates immediately if x is a numeric quantity.
  • Simplify[expr∈NegativeRationals,assum] can be used to try to determine whether an expression corresponds to a negative rational number under the given assumptions.
  • (x1|x2|…)∈NegativeRationals and {x1,x2,…}∈NegativeRationals test whether all xi are negative rational numbers.
  • The domain of negative integers is taken to be a subset of the domain of negative rationals.
  • NegativeRationals is output in StandardForm or TraditionalForm as TemplateBox[{}, NegativeRationals]. This typeset form can be input using nrats.
