Study Notes

Natural Numbers

Whole numbers starting from 1, extending infinitely (1, 2, 3, ...).
Always positive and used for counting.

Whole Numbers

Comprises natural numbers plus zero (0, 1, 2, 3, ...).
No negative values included.

Integers

The set includes whole numbers and their negative counterparts.
Examples: -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3.

Rational Numbers

Any number that can be represented as a fraction (a/b).
Both integers and fractions qualify as rational numbers.

Irrational Numbers

Cannot be expressed as a fraction of integers (a/b, where b ≠ 0).
Examples include √2, π (pi).

Square Root

A value that, when multiplied by itself, produces a given number.
Symbolized as √, e.g., √9 = 3.

Pythagorean Theorem

A fundamental relation in Euclidean geometry for right triangles.
Formula: a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse.

Venn Diagram in Math

A visual representation showing relationships among sets.
Inner circles must adhere to the rules of outer circles if nested.

Equation

A mathematical statement indicating equality, featuring an equals sign (=).
Examples of equations include x + 2 = 5 and 3y = 12.

Expression

A combination of numbers, operations, and/or variables without an equals sign.
Examples include 2x + 3 or 7 - y.
