Study Notes
Types of Real Numbers
- 0 is classified as an integer and also a rational number.
- -7 is a negative integer and a rational number.
- √2 is an irrational number because it cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers.
- 3/4 is a rational number, expressed as a fraction.
- -√5 is an irrational number, as it cannot be accurately written as a fraction.
- 11 is a positive integer and a rational number.
- -17 is a negative integer and a rational number.
- 1/3 is a rational number, expressed as a fraction.
- √11 is an irrational number, as it cannot be expressed as a fraction.
- -5.6 is a negative decimal and a rational number.
Mathematical Properties
- The commutative property states that the order of numbers in addition or multiplication does not affect the result.
- The associative property states that changing the grouping of numbers in addition or multiplication does not change the result.
- The identity property of addition states that adding zero to any number does not change its value.
- The identity property of multiplication states that multiplying a number by one does not change its value.
- The distributive property states that multiplying a number by the sum of two numbers is equivalent to multiplying that number by each addend and then adding the results.
Adding Fractions
- To add fractions with different denominators, find a common denominator before proceeding with the addition.
Absolute Value
- The absolute value of a number represents its distance from zero on the number line, regardless of direction.
Common Misconceptions
- Adding Fractions: Many believe fractions must have the same denominator without understanding the need for finding a common denominator first.
- Canceling Numbers in Fractions: A misconception exists that numbers can be canceled in any situation, leading to incorrect simplifications.
- Multiplying Fractions: Some students misunderstand that multiplying fractions results in values smaller than both original fractions.
- Absolute Values: There is confusion about treating absolute values as negative, not recognizing they represent distance.
- Raising Powers to New Powers: Often misunderstood is the procedure for exponentiation, particularly in how bases and powers interact during such operations.
Product Property of Exponents
- The product property states that when multiplying numbers with the same base, you add the exponents.
