Study Notes
Properties of Equality
- Symmetric property: States that if A is equal to B, then B is equal to A.
- Reflexive property: Indicates that any quantity is equal to itself, expressed as A = A.
Properties of Operations
- Commutative property of multiplication: Demonstrates that the order of multiplication does not change the product, formulated as A * B = B * A.
Number Types
- Real numbers: Comprise both rational and irrational numbers, encompassing all possible numbers on the number line.
- Rational numbers: Defined as numbers that can be expressed as a fraction of two integers; their decimal representation either terminates (ends) or repeats infinitely.
- Irrational numbers: Defined as numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers; their decimal representation neither terminates nor repeats.
Absolute Value
- Definition of absolute value: Represents the distance of a number from zero on the number line; |x| equals x if x is greater than zero, and |x| equals -x if x is less than zero.
