Study Notes
Number System
Classification of Numbers
- Natural Numbers: 1, 2, 3, ... (counting numbers)
- Whole Numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3, ... (including 0)
- Integers: ..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ... (including negative numbers)
- Rational Numbers: fractions, e.g., 3/4, 22/7, -1/2 (can be expressed as a ratio of integers)
- Irrational Numbers: non-repeating, non-terminating decimals, e.g., π, e, √2 (cannot be expressed as a ratio of integers)
- Real Numbers: includes rational and irrational numbers
- Complex Numbers: numbers with real and imaginary parts, e.g., 3 + 4i, where i = √(-1)
Properties of Operations
- Commutative Property: a + b = b + a, a × b = b × a (addition and multiplication are commutative)
- Associative Property: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c), (a × b) × c = a × (b × c) (addition and multiplication are associative)
- Distributive Property: a × (b + c) = a × b + a × c (multiplication distributes over addition)
Order of Operations
-
PEMDAS (or BODMAS): follow the order of operations when evaluating expressions:
- Parentheses (or Brackets)
- Exponents (or Orders)
- Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
- Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)
Number System
Classification of Numbers
- Natural Numbers are counting numbers starting from 1, such as 1, 2, 3, ...
- Whole Numbers include 0 and all natural numbers, such as 0, 1, 2, 3, ...
- Integers include all whole numbers and their negative counterparts, such as ..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...
- Rational Numbers are fractions that can be expressed as a ratio of integers, such as 3/4, 22/7, -1/2
- Irrational Numbers are non-repeating and non-terminating decimals that cannot be expressed as a ratio of integers, such as π, e, √2
- Real Numbers include both rational and irrational numbers
- Complex Numbers have both real and imaginary parts, such as 3 + 4i, where i = √(-1)
Properties of Operations
- The Commutative Property states that the order of numbers does not change the result of addition and multiplication, such as a + b = b + a, a × b = b × a
- The Associative Property states that the order of operations does not change the result of addition and multiplication, such as (a + b) + c = a + (b + c), (a × b) × c = a × (b × c)
- The Distributive Property states that multiplication can be distributed over addition, such as a × (b + c) = a × b + a × c
Order of Operations
- The PEMDAS (or BODMAS) rule follows a specific order of operations when evaluating expressions
- Evaluate expressions in the following order:
- Parentheses (or Brackets)
- Exponents (or Orders)
- Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
- Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)
