    Study Notes

    Number Systems Overview

    • Natural Numbers: Counting numbers starting from 1; represented as 1, 2, 3, …
    • Whole Numbers: All natural numbers including zero; represented as 0, 1, 2, 3, …
    • Integers: Whole numbers and their negatives; represented as ..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...
    • Positive Integers: Natural numbers; 1, 2, 3, …
    • Negative Integers: Negative natural numbers; -1, -2, -3, …
    • Rational Numbers: Numbers expressed as fractions; can be positive, negative, proper (less than 1), or improper (greater than 1).
    • Irrational Numbers: Numbers that cannot be expressed as fractions; examples include square roots of non-perfect squares.
    • Real Numbers: Include all rational and irrational numbers; can be represented as points on the number line.
    • Imaginary Numbers: Square roots of negative numbers; written in terms of 'i', where i = √-1.
    • Complex Numbers: Combination of real and imaginary numbers, expressed as a + bi, where a and b are real numbers.
    • All reals are complex (b=0) and all imaginaries are complex (a=0).

    The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra

    • States that every polynomial of degree n has exactly n complex roots, including multiple roots.

    Inequalities and Solutions

    • To solve inequalities, eliminate fractions by multiplying through by the least common multiple of the denominators.
    • Check for unique solutions, infinitely many solutions, or no solutions by evaluating boundary points.
    • Shading on Graphs: Use open circles for endpoints not included and closed circles for included endpoints.

    Interval Notation

    • Represents pieces of the number line; expressions like a - b < x < a + b indicate the range of x values.
    • Open Interval: a < x < b; endpoints are not included.
    • Closed Interval: a ≤ x ≤ b; endpoints are included.
    • Union of inequalities is represented as OR; at least one inequality must hold true.

    Additional Points on Equations

    • Solutions involving inequalities may require shading on graphs to represent valid ranges.
    • For boundary points, test points from the intervals to ascertain which portions shade appropriately.
    • Careful consideration is needed if dealing with both positive and negative numbers in equations.
