Study Notes
Number System Overview
- The main purpose of the number system is to represent and operate on different types of numbers.
Types of Numbers
- The text does not discuss complex numbers.
- A number is defined as a mathematical object used to count, measure, and label.
- Natural numbers can be placed on the number line.
- The fundamental difference between natural numbers and whole numbers is that whole numbers include zero.
Properties of Numbers
- Integers include both positive and negative numbers.
- Rational numbers can have fractional or decimal values.
- The distinguishing feature of irrational numbers is that they cannot be expressed as a finite decimal or fraction.
- In the context of the number system, 'Z' symbolizes integers.
Operations with Irrational Numbers
- A correct statement about irrational numbers is that they cannot be expressed as a finite decimal or fraction.
- If 'x' is an irrational number, then √x is also an irrational number.
- The operation between two irrational numbers that could result in a rational number is multiplication.
- If 'r' is a rational number and 'i' is an irrational number, then 'r + i' is an irrational number.
Number Line Representation
- Real numbers, including rational and irrational numbers, can be represented on the number line.
