Answer

Natural numbers: N/A Integers: N/A Rational numbers: N/A Irrational numbers: $\sqrt 2$, $\pi$, $\sqrt 2 + 1$, $\pi+\frac{1}{2}$ Real numbers: $\sqrt 2$, $\pi$, $\sqrt 2 + 1$, $\pi+\frac{1}{2}$

Work Step by Step

Natural numbers: Are positive whole numbers (greater than zero). None of the numbers are whole numbers. Integers: Are whole numbers that can be positive, negative or zero. None of the numbers are whole numbers. Rational numbers: Are numbers that can be made into a fraction with integers. All of the numbers contain surds or $\pi$ which cannot be made into a fraction consisting of integers only. Irrational numbers: Are numbers that cannot be made into a fraction with integers. All of the numbers cannot satisfy this criterion. Real numbers: Are numbers that can exist on the number line. All of the numbers are real numbers.
