Study Notes
Algebra: Real Numbers, Exponents, and Polynomials
- The real number system includes all numbers that can be represented on a number line.
- Real numbers are classified into subsets like rational, irrational, integers, whole numbers, and natural numbers.
Imaginary and Complex Numbers
- Imaginary numbers involve the square root of negative numbers, represented by "i."
- Complex numbers consist of a real part and an imaginary part, expressed as (a + bi).
Types of Numbers
- Rational Numbers: Can be expressed as fractions, either terminating or repeating decimals (e.g., 1/2 = 0.5, 1/3 = 0.333...).
- Irrational Numbers: Cannot be expressed as fractions; their decimal representations are non-terminating and non-repeating (e.g., π, √2).
- Integers: Include positive and negative whole numbers along with zero.
- Whole Numbers: Non-negative numbers starting from zero (e.g., 0, 1, 2,...).
- Natural Numbers: Positive integers starting from one (e.g., 1, 2, 3,...).
Properties of Real Numbers
- Closure Property: The result of the operation on two real numbers is also a real number (e.g., a + b ∈ R).
- Commutative Property: Order does not matter for addition (a + b = b + a) but not for subtraction.
- Associative Property: Grouping does not affect the result for addition (a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c).
- Identity Property: Adding zero does not change the number (a + 0 = a), multiplying by one also has no effect (a × 1 = a).
- Inverse Property: A number and its opposite sum to zero (a + (-a) = 0).
Properties of Negative Real Numbers
- Negative numbers are less than zero and can have sums with positive numbers leading to different results (e.g., -2 + 3 = 1).
- The product of two negative numbers is positive (e.g., -2 × -3 = 6).
Properties of Equality
- Reflexive Property: Any number is equal to itself (a = a).
- Symmetric Property: If one number is equal to another, then the second is equal to the first (if a = b, then b = a).
- Transitive Property: If one number equals a second, and that second equals a third, then the first equals the third (if a = b and b = c, then a = c).
Properties of Inequality
- Trichotomy Property: For any two numbers, only one among a < b, b < a, or a = b can be true.
- Symmetric & Transitive Properties for Inequalities: If a > b, then b < a; if a ≤ b and b ≤ c, then a ≤ c.
Operations on Real Numbers
- Sample problems demonstrating operations include basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of negative and positive integers.
- Finding perimeter and area involves using algebraic expressions to calculate dimensions of geometric figures.
Practice Sample Problems
- Operations include addition of negatives and raising negative numbers to powers.
- Area and perimeter calculations assess understanding of applying algebra to geometric problems.
