- Integers: ..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...
- Rational numbers: fractions (e.g. 1/2, 3/4)
- Irrational numbers: non-repeating decimals (e.g. π, e)
- Real numbers: rational and irrational numbers
Algebra
-
Equations:

Numbers
- Natural numbers are positive integers starting from 1, such as 1, 2, 3, and so on.
- Whole numbers include natural numbers and 0, making them 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on.
- Integers are whole numbers including negative numbers, resulting in ..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on.
- Rational numbers are fractions, such as 1/2, 3/4, and can be expressed as a finite decimal or a ratio of integers.
- Irrational numbers are non-repeating decimals, such as π and e, which cannot be expressed as a finite decimal or a ratio of integers.
- Real numbers comprise both rational and irrational numbers.
Algebra
- Linear equations are of the form ax + by = c, where a, b, and c are constants, and x and y are variables, such as 2x + 3y = 7.
- Quadratic equations are of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are constants, and x is the variable, such as x^2 + 4x + 4 = 0.
- Linear graphs are straight lines, represented by the equation y = 2x - 3, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
- Quadratic graphs are parabolas, represented by the equation y = x^2 + 2x + 1, where a determines the shape of the parabola.
Geometry
- Points are locations in space, represented by capital letters, such as A, B, C.
- Lines are sets of points extending infinitely in two directions, represented by two capital letters, such as AB, CD.
- Planes are flat surfaces, represented by three capital letters, such as ABC, DEF.
- Angles are formed by two lines or planes, represented by the angle symbol, such as ∠AOB, ∠ABC.
- Triangles are three-sided shapes, represented by three capital letters, such as ABC, DEF.
- Quadrilaterals are four-sided shapes, represented by four capital letters, such as ABCD, EFGH.
Calculus
- Limits are a value approached as x approaches a certain point, used to define continuity and differentiability of functions.
- Derivatives measure the rate of change of a function with respect to x, and can be interpreted geometrically as the slope of the tangent line.
- Integrals calculate the area under a curve or the accumulation of a quantity over an interval, and are used to solve problems in physics, engineering, and economics.
Rational Numbers: Addition and Subtraction
Adding Rational Numbers
- To add two rational numbers, find a common denominator (LCD) for both fractions.
- Convert both fractions to have the LCD, then add the numerators (numbers on top) and keep the same denominator.
- Simplify the resulting fraction, if possible, to ensure the answer is in its simplest form.
Subtracting Rational Numbers
- To subtract one rational number from another, follow the same steps as adding rational numbers.
- Find a common denominator (LCD) for both fractions, convert both fractions to have the LCD, and then subtract the numerators.
- Simplify the resulting fraction, if possible, to ensure the answer is in its simplest form.
Key Concepts
- The denominators must be the same when adding or subtracting rational numbers.
- The least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators can be used to find the common denominator.
- Simplifying the resulting fraction is important to ensure the answer is in its simplest form.
Examples
- Adding 1/4 and 1/6 involves finding the LCD (12), converting fractions to 3/12 and 2/12, adding numerators to get 5/12, and simplifying to 5/12.
- Subtracting 2/3 from 1/4 involves finding the LCD (12), converting fractions to 8/12 and 3/12, subtracting numerators to get 5/12, and simplifying to 5/12.
