Study Notes
Real Numbers Classification
- Real numbers include both rational and irrational numbers.
- Rational numbers can be expressed as a fraction ( p/q ) where ( p ) and ( q ) are integers, and ( q \neq 0 ).
- Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction and have non-terminating, non-repeating decimal expansions.
Integers and Whole Numbers
- Integers are whole numbers and their negatives: (..., −3, −2, −1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...).
- Whole numbers encompass all non-negative integers: (0, 1, 2, 3,...).
Identifying Rational Numbers
- Rational numbers include:
- Perfect squares, e.g., ( \sqrt{16} = 4 ), ( \sqrt{49} = 7 ).
- Terminating decimals, e.g., 15.567, 0.29.
- Repeating decimals, e.g., 0.816 (with repeating 6).
- Non-repeating, non-terminating decimals are considered irrational.
Recognizing Irrational Numbers
- Examples include square roots of non-perfect squares (e.g., ( \sqrt{17}, \sqrt{44} )).
- Decimal representations that do not terminate or repeat (e.g., 21.10675...).
Writing Numbers as Ratios
- Decimal numbers can be converted to fractions:
- 9.279 can be expressed as ( \frac{9279}{1000} ).
- Any integer, e.g., -12 can be written as ( \frac{-12}{1} ).
Special Cases and Non-existent Real Numbers
- ( \sqrt{-25} ) and other square roots of negative numbers do not represent real numbers as no real number squared gives a negative result.
- Roots of negative numbers or complex numbers are not part of the real number set.
Specific Examples to Classify
- Numbers like ( 265 ) belong to whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, and real numbers.
- Mixed numbers, like ( 2 \frac{1}{3} ), are rational and real.
Repeated and Non-repeated Decimals
- Decimal numbers, such as ( 31.7408\overline{8} ) and ( 21.90062\overline{62} ), are classified as rational because they repeat.
- Non-repeating decimals, e.g., ( 4.381293...), are irrational.
Conclusion
- A thorough understanding of the definitions and examples of integers, whole numbers, rational and irrational numbers helps in identifying and classifying numbers accurately in various mathematical contexts.### Irrational and Rational Numbers
- Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as fractions; their decimals do not terminate or repeat.
- Examples include √44 and √17; both do not simplify to whole numbers.
Identifying Rational Numbers
- Rational numbers can be identified through their decimal representations, which either terminate or repeat.
- Examples include:
- 19.30764¯¯¯¯¯ (repeating decimal)
- 35.45449 (terminating decimal)
- 1 (perfect square) simplifies from √1.
Perfect Squares and Rationality
- Perfect squares simplify to whole numbers, classifying them as rational. For instance, √36 = 6 and √81 = 9.
Real Numbers
- Real numbers consist of rational and irrational numbers.
- -√81 and -√49 are real numbers; however, square roots of negative numbers (e.g., √-196, √-121) are not real.
Whole Numbers and Integers
- Whole numbers include non-negative integers (0, 1, 2, 3, ...).
- Integers include whole numbers and their negatives, exemplified by numbers like -4 and 6.
Sets of Numbers
- √49 = 7 belongs to multiple sets: whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, and real numbers.
- The number 2 also belongs to all these sets for the same reasons.
Identifying Rational vs. Irrational Decimals
- Decimals such as 15.567 and 27.20058 are rational (terminate).
- 21.10675... and √526 are irrational (do not terminate or repeat).
Analyzing Decimal Patterns
- A decimal that repeats qualifies as rational, reflected in numbers like 18.12270¯¯¯¯¯ and 32.74178¯¯¯¯¯.
- Conversely, decimals without repeating patterns or that don’t terminate, like 1.421490..., are classified as irrational.
Additional Insights
- 0.1453¯¯¯¯¯ is rational as it is a repeating decimal but is not classified as a whole number or integer.
- The square root of a negative number (e.g., -√3) does not fall into rational or integer categories but is categorized as irrational and real.
Summary of Sets
- Categories for numbers based on their decimal forms or simplification include:
- Whole Numbers: Non-negative integers.
- Integers: Whole numbers and their negatives.
- Rational Numbers: Terminating or repeating decimals.
- Irrational Numbers: Non-repeating, non-terminating decimals.
- Real Numbers: All rational and irrational numbers.
