Study Notes
Number Systems
- Natural Numbers (N): Positive whole numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.)
- Whole Numbers (W): Includes zero and all natural numbers (0, 1, 2, 3, etc.)
- Integers (Z): Positive and negative whole numbers, including zero (-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.)
- Rational Numbers (Q): Numbers that can be expressed as fractions (p/q, where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0). Any number that ends is a rational number.
- Irrational Numbers (I or Q-): Numbers that cannot be expressed as fractions. Irrational numbers are real numbers and exist on the number line.
Properties of Real Numbers
- Identity Property of Addition: Adding zero to any number results in the original number (a + 0 = a and 0 + a = a).
- Identity Property of Multiplication: Multiplying any number by one results in the original number (a × 1 = a and 1 × a = a).
- Commutative Property of Addition: The order of numbers in addition does not change the sum (a + b = b + a).
- Commutative Property of Multiplication: The order of numbers in multiplication does not change the product (a × b = b × a).
- Associative Property of Addition: Grouping numbers in addition does not change the sum [(a + b) + c = a + (b + c)].
- Associative Property of Multiplication: Grouping numbers in multiplication does not change the product [(a × b) × c = a × (b × c)].
- Distributive Property: Multiplying a number by the sum of two numbers is equivalent to multiplying the number by each addend and then adding the products [a × (b + c) = ab + ac and (b + c) × a = ab + ac].
- Multiplicative Inverse: The reciprocal of a number multiplied by the number equals one (a × 1/a = 1).
- Multiplication and Division Properties of Zero: Multiplying any number by zero results in zero (a × 0 = 0); dividing zero by any non-zero number results in zero (0/a = 0); dividing a non-zero number by zero is undefined (a/0 = undefined).
- Transitive Property: If a = b and b = c, then a = c.
- Symmetry Property: If a = b, then b = a.
