Questions and Answers

What are the main differences between natural numbers and whole numbers?

Natural numbers start from 1 and go upwards, while whole numbers include 0 along with the natural numbers.

Explain the concept of irrational numbers and provide an example.

Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers; an example is $rac{ ext{√2}}{1}$.

Describe the commutative property in relation to addition.

The commutative property states that for addition, $a + b = b + a$, meaning the order of numbers does not affect the sum.

What does the distributive property indicate and how is it represented mathematically?

The distributive property indicates that $a × (b + c) = a × b + a × c$, meaning multiplication distributes over addition. Signup and view all the answers

How does subtraction differ from addition in terms of number modification?

Subtraction modifies a value by removing a certain amount, contrasting with addition which combines quantities. Signup and view all the answers

Identify and explain the significance of the associative property in arithmetic.

The associative property states that for addition, $(a + b) + c = (b + a) + c$, indicating that grouping of numbers does not affect the total. Signup and view all the answers

What is the role of operators in arithmetic operations, and list the basic operators?

Operators modify values in arithmetic operations, with basic operators being addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), and division (/). Signup and view all the answers

How do rational numbers differ from irrational numbers?

Rational numbers can be expressed as the ratio of two integers, while irrational numbers cannot. Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Arithmetic Modifiers (Operators)

Arithmetic uses "modifiers" (standardly known as operators, e.g., +, -, ×, ÷) to change the values of numbers.

Number Types

Natural Numbers: Counting numbers (1, 2, 3, ...).
Whole Numbers: Non-negative counting numbers (0, 1, 2, 3, ...).
Integers: Positive and negative whole numbers and zero (-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3...).
Rational Numbers: Numbers that can be expressed as a fraction (p/q) where p and q are integers, and q is not zero (e.g., 1/2, 3/4, -2/5).
Irrational Numbers: Numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction and their decimal representations are non-repeating and non-terminating (e.g., √2, π).
