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.
