    Study Notes

    Set Theory and Number Concepts

    • Set: A collection of distinct objects, which can be numerical or non-numerical.
    • Element/Member: An individual object within a set.
    • Empty Set: A set that contains no elements, often denoted by the symbol ∅.
    • Union of Sets (U): Combines all elements from two or more sets, including duplicates.
    • Intersection of Sets: Identifies common elements present in two or more sets.
    • Subset: A set in which every member is also contained in a larger set.

    Number Classification

    • Rational Numbers: Any number that can be expressed as the quotient of two integers (a fraction).
    • Irrational Numbers: Numbers that cannot be expressed as a simple fraction; their decimal representation neither terminates nor repeats.

    Graphing Fundamentals

    • Origin: The point at which the coordinates are both zero (0, 0).
    • Negative Numbers: Values less than zero, found to the left of zero on the number line.
    • Graph: A representation of points on a number line, corresponding to real numbers.
    • Coordinate: The specific real number associated with a point on the graph.

    Number Properties

    • Opposite Number: A number located at an equal distance from zero but in the opposite direction on a number line.
    • Absolute Value: The non-negative distance of a number from zero on the number line.
    • Mathematical Property: A universally true statement or equation for all variable values.

    Mathematical Operations

    • Subtraction: Removing one quantity from another to obtain a smaller result.
    • Unit Multiplier: A fraction representing equivalent measurements, useful for unit conversion.
    • Reciprocals (Multiplicative Inverses): Two numbers whose product equals one (e.g., 2 and 0.5).
    • Division: Can be conceptualized as multiplying a number by the reciprocal of the divisor.
    • Zero Power: Any non-zero number raised to the exponent of zero equals one.
    • Negative Exponents: For any nonzero number x and integer a, x^(-a) equals 1/x^a.

    Closing Wishes

    • Best of Luck!: Encouragement for students in their studies.
