Questions and Answers

What distinguishes rational numbers from irrational numbers?

Rational numbers can be expressed as the quotient of two integers, while irrational numbers cannot be represented as simple fractions.

Define what a polygon is and give two examples.

A polygon is a closed figure with straight sides, examples include a triangle and a rectangle.

How does the concept of a number line help in understanding different types of numbers?

A number line visually represents numbers in order, allowing easy identification of their relation to one another, including natural, whole, and rational numbers.

Study Notes

Number System

Definition: The number system is a system for expressing numbers; it includes various types of numbers.
Types of Numbers:
- Natural Numbers (N): The set of positive integers (1, 2, 3, ...).
- Whole Numbers (W): Natural numbers including zero (0, 1, 2, ...).
- Integers (Z): Whole numbers and their negative counterparts (..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3,...).
- Rational Numbers (Q): Numbers that can be expressed as the quotient of two integers (a/b, where b ≠ 0).
- Irrational Numbers: Numbers that cannot be expressed as a simple fraction (e.g., √2, π).
- Real Numbers (R): The set of all rational and irrational numbers.
Number Line: A visual representation of numbers, where each number corresponds to a point.
Operations: Basic arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) can be performed on all types of numbers.

Geometry

Definition: Geometry is the branch of mathematics concerned with the properties and relations of points, lines, surfaces, and solids.
Basic Concepts:
- Point: A location in space with no size or dimension.
- Line: A straight path extending in both directions without end, has no thickness.
- Line Segment: A portion of a line bounded by two endpoints.
- Ray: A line that starts at a point and extends infinitely in one direction.
Angles:
- Definition: Formed by two rays with a common endpoint (vertex).
- Types:
  - Acute: Less than 90°
  - Right: Exactly 90°
  - Obtuse: Greater than 90° but less than 180°
  - Straight: Exactly 180°
Polygons: Closed figures with straight sides.
- Triangles: Three-sided polygons, classified by angles (acute, right, obtuse) or sides (scalene, isosceles, equilateral).
- Quadrilaterals: Four-sided polygons (examples: squares, rectangles, trapezoids).
Circles: A round shape where all points are equidistant from a central point (center).
- Radius: Distance from the center to any point on the circle.
- Diameter: Distance across the circle through the center (twice the radius).
Area & Perimeter:
- Area: The space occupied within a shape (formulas vary by shape).
- Perimeter: The total length of the boundaries of a shape.

Number System

System for representing and understanding numbers.
Different categories of numbers with unique characteristics.
Natural Numbers: Positive whole numbers starting from 1 (1, 2, 3, ...) used for counting objects.
Whole Numbers: Natural numbers including zero (0, 1, 2, ...).
Integers: Whole numbers including their negative counterparts (...-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3...).
Rational Numbers: Can be expressed as a fraction a/b (where b ≠ 0), representing division.
Irrational Numbers: Cannot be represented as a simple fraction (e.g., √2, π).
Real Numbers: All rational and irrational numbers combined.
Number Line: A visual representation where each number corresponds to a specific point.
Basic arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division can be performed on all types of numbers.

Geometry

Study of shapes, their properties, and how they relate to each other.
Point: A location in space with no size or dimension.
Line: A straight path that extends indefinitely in both directions.
Line Segment: A part of a line with two endpoints.
Ray: A line that starts at a single point and extends infinitely in one direction.
Angles: Formed by two rays with a common endpoint (vertex).
- Classified by their measure:
  - Acute: Less than 90°
  - Right: Exactly 90°
  - Obtuse: Greater than 90° but less than 180°
  - Straight: Exactly 180°
Polygons: Closed figures made up of straight line segments.
Triangles: Three-sided polygons classified by angles (acute, right, obtuse) or sides (scalene, isosceles, equilateral).
Quadrilaterals: Four-sided polygons like squares, rectangles, and trapezoids.
Circles: A round shape where all points are equidistant from a central point (center).
- Radius: The distance from the center of a circle to any point on its edge.
- Diameter: The distance across the circle through the center (twice the radius).
Area and Perimeter:
- Area: The amount of space enclosed within a shape.
- Perimeter: The total length of the boundaries of a shape.
