Study Notes
Equivalent Fractions
- On the number line, there are infinitely many fractions equivalent to 1/2, and we choose 1/2 to represent all of them.
Types of Numbers
- Every whole number is not a natural number (e.g., 0 is a whole number but not a natural number).
- Every integer is a rational number (e.g., every integer m can be expressed as m/1).
- Not every rational number is an integer (e.g., 3/5 is a rational number but not an integer).
Finding Rational Numbers
- To find a rational number between two numbers, add the two numbers and divide by 2.
- Five rational numbers between 1 and 2 are 3/2, 5/4, 7/4, 11/8, and 13/8.
Decimal Expansions of Rational Numbers
- The decimal expansion of a rational number is either terminating or non-terminating recurring.
- Examples of non-terminating recurring decimal expansions include 3.333... and 0.142857...
- The decimal expansion of an irrational number can be terminating or non-terminating recurring.
Irrational Numbers
- An irrational number is a number that cannot be expressed as a finite decimal or fraction.
- Examples of irrational numbers include π, 2, and the square root of 2.
- Irrational numbers can be expressed as non-terminating non-recurring decimals.
Operations on Real Numbers
- Rational numbers satisfy the commutative, associative, and distributive laws for addition and multiplication.
- Irrational numbers also satisfy these laws, but the results of operations may not always be irrational.
- Examples of irrational numbers resulting from operations include 2 + √3, 2√3, and π - 2.
