Study Notes
Integers
- A set of whole numbers, including positive, negative, and zero
- Examples: ..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...
- Properties:
- Closure: The result of adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing integers is always an integer.
- Commutativity: The order of integers in an operation does not change the result.
- Associativity: The order in which integers are grouped in an operation does not change the result.
Fractions
- A way to represent part of a whole
- Consists of a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bottom number)
- Examples: 1/2, 3/4, 2/3
- Properties:
- Equivalent fractions: Fractions that have the same value but different numerators and denominators.
- Simplification: Fractions can be simplified by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor.
Decimals
- A way to represent fractions in a decimal form
- Examples: 0.5, 0.25, 0.333...
- Properties:
- Terminating decimals: Decimals that end in a finite number of digits (e.g., 0.5)
- Non-terminating decimals: Decimals that do not end in a finite number of digits (e.g., 0.333...)
Rational and Irrational Numbers
- Rational numbers:
- Can be expressed as the ratio of two integers (fractions)
- Examples: 1/2, 3/4, 22/7
- Irrational numbers:
- Cannot be expressed as the ratio of two integers
- Examples: π, e, √2
Non-Terminating and Non-Recurring Decimals
- Non-terminating decimals:
- Decimals that do not end in a finite number of digits
- Examples: 0.333..., 0.14159...
- Non-recurring decimals:
- Decimals that do not have a repeating pattern
- Examples: π, e, √2
Non-Terminating and Recurring Decimals
- Non-terminating decimals:
- Decimals that do not end in a finite number of digits
- Examples: 0.333..., 0.14159...
- Recurring decimals:
- Decimals that have a repeating pattern
- Examples: 0.12341234..., 0.45674567...
