Properties of Real Numbers:
- Commutative Property: a + b = b + a, a × b = b × a
- Associative Property: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c), (a × b) × c = a × (b × c)
- Distributive Property: a × (b + c) = a × b + a × c
- Real Number Line: A visual representation of real numbers on a number line, where each point corresponds to a unique real number
Operations on Real Numbers
-
Addition:
- Closure Property: a + b is always a real number
- Commutative Property: a + b = b + a
- Associative Property: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c)
-
Subtraction:
- Not commutative, a - b ≠ b - a
- Not associative, (a - b) - c ≠ a - (b - c)
-
Multiplication:
- Closure Property: a × b is always a real number
- Commutative Property: a × b = b × a
- Associative Property: (a × b) × c = a × (b × c)
-
Division:
- Not defined for division by zero
- Not commutative, a ÷ b ≠ b ÷ a
- Not associative, (a ÷ b) ÷ c ≠ a ÷ (b ÷ c)

Real Numbers
- The commutative property of real numbers states that a + b = b + a and a × b = b × a
- The associative property of real numbers states that (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) and (a × b) × c = a × (b × c)
- The distributive property of real numbers states that a × (b + c) = a × b + a × c
- The real number line is a visual representation of real numbers, where each point corresponds to a unique real number
Operations on Real Numbers
- Addition of real numbers has the closure property, meaning a + b is always a real number
- Addition of real numbers has the commutative property, meaning a + b = b + a
- Addition of real numbers has the associative property, meaning (a + b) + c = a + (b + c)
- Subtraction of real numbers is not commutative, meaning a - b ≠ b - a
- Subtraction of real numbers is not associative, meaning (a - b) - c ≠ a - (b - c)
- Multiplication of real numbers has the closure property, meaning a × b is always a real number
- Multiplication of real numbers has the commutative property, meaning a × b = b × a
- Multiplication of real numbers has the associative property, meaning (a × b) × c = a × (b × c)
- Division of real numbers is not defined for division by zero
- Division of real numbers is not commutative, meaning a ÷ b ≠ b ÷ a
- Division of real numbers is not associative, meaning (a ÷ b) ÷ c ≠ a ÷ (b ÷ c)
Number Systems
- Number systems are ways to represent numbers using different symbols and rules.
Types of Numbers
- Natural Numbers: start from 1 and go on indefinitely (1, 2, 3,...).
- Whole Numbers: include 0 and all natural numbers (0, 1, 2, 3,...).
- Integers: include all whole numbers and their negative counterparts (...,-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3,...).
- Rational Numbers: can be expressed as the ratio of two integers (e.g., 3/4, 22/7).
- Irrational Numbers: cannot be expressed as the ratio of two integers (e.g., π, e).
- Real Numbers: include all rational and irrational numbers.
Properties of Real Numbers
- Commutative Property: the order of numbers does not change the result of an operation (e.g., a + b = b + a).
- Associative Property: the order in which numbers are grouped does not change the result of an operation (e.g., (a + b) + c = a + (b + c)).
- Distributive Property: the multiplication of a number with the sum of two numbers is the same as the sum of the multiplication of the number with each of the two numbers (e.g., a(b + c) = ab + ac).
Operations on Real Numbers
- Addition: the sum of two or more real numbers is always a real number.
- Subtraction: the difference of two real numbers is always a real number.
- Multiplication: the product of two or more real numbers is always a real number.
- Division: the division of two real numbers is always a real number, except when the divisor is zero.
Important Results
- Closure Property: the result of an operation on two real numbers is always a real number.
- Existence of Additive Identity: there exists a real number, 0, such that a + 0 = a for every real number a.
- Existence of Multiplicative Identity: there exists a real number, 1, such that a × 1 = a for every real number a.
