Arithmetic and Number Systems Quiz

Arithmetic Operations

• Addition combines two or more numbers to find their sum.
• Subtraction finds the difference between two numbers.
• Multiplication is repeated addition or a shortcut for adding identical numbers.
• Division splits a number into equal parts; it's the inverse of multiplication.

Number Systems

• Natural numbers (counting numbers): 1, 2, 3,...
• Whole numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3,... (includes zero)
• Integers: ..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3,... (positive and negative whole numbers, and zero).
• Rational numbers: fractions (p/q where p and q are integers, q ≠ 0), terminating decimals, and repeating decimals.
• Irrational numbers: decimals that are non-repeating and non-terminating, like √2 and π.
• Real numbers: the set of all rational and irrational numbers.
• Complex numbers: numbers of the form a + bi, where 'a' and 'b' are real numbers, and 'i' is the imaginary unit (i² = -1).

Properties of Numbers

• Commutative property: a + b = b + a, a × b = b × a
• Associative property: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c), (a × b) × c = a × (b × c)
• Distributive property: a × (b + c) = a × b + a × c
• Identity property: a + 0 = a, a × 1 = a
• Inverse property: a + (-a) = 0, a × (1/a) = 1 (for a ≠ 0)

Algebraic Expressions

• Variables: symbols (like x, y, or z) that represent unknown values.
• Constants: numbers without variables.
• Terms: parts of an expression separated by addition or subtraction signs.
• Expressions: combinations of variables, constants, and operations. Example: 2x + 3y - 5

Equations and Inequalities

• Equations: statements that two expressions are equal. Solving involves finding variable values that make the equation true.
• Inequalities: statements comparing expressions using symbols like <, >, ≤, ≥, ≠. Solving involves finding the range of values that make the inequality true.

Geometry

• Basic shapes: points, lines, planes, angles, triangles, quadrilaterals, circles, polygons.
• Geometric figures: two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) shapes.
• Perimeter: the distance around a two-dimensional shape.
• Area: the space enclosed by a two-dimensional shape.
• Volume: the space occupied by a three-dimensional shape.
• Formulas for calculating areas and perimeters of different shapes.

Measurement

• Units of measurement: standard units (e.g., meters, centimeters, kilograms, grams, liters).
• Converting between units.
• Using formulas for area and volume.
• Significant figures.
• Accuracy and precision in measurements.

Data Analysis

• Collecting data.
• Organizing data (tables, charts).
• Analyzing data (mean, median, mode, range).
• Interpreting data (charts, graphs).

Probability

• Basic concepts of probability.
• Calculating probabilities of simple events.
• Probability distributions (normal, binomial).

Statistics

• Descriptive statistics (mean, median, mode, standard deviation).
• Inferential statistics (hypothesis testing).
• Data collection methods.

Functions

• Defining a function;
  • dependent variable(s), independent variable(s).
  • domain, range.
• Linear functions.
• Quadratic functions.
• Exponents/logarithms.

Sets

• Sets and their elements.
• Set operations (union, intersection, difference).
