Study Notes
Numbers and Operations
- Integers and Multiplication: Multiplying any two integers results in another integer (e.g., 5 × (–8) = –40).
- Closure Properties:
- Whole numbers are closed under addition and multiplication but not subtraction and division.
- Integers are closed under addition, subtraction, and multiplication but not division.
Rational Numbers
- Definition: A rational number can be expressed as a fraction p/q, where p and q are integers, and q ≠ 0. Examples include –2, 4, 2/3, and –5/7.
- Closure Under Addition: The sum of any two rational numbers is a rational number (validated through various addition examples).
- Closure Under Subtraction: The difference between two rational numbers is also a rational number (validated through subtraction examples).
Distributive Property
- The distributive property allows splitting a product into sums or differences (e.g., a(b + c) = ab + ac).
Additive Inverse
- The additive inverse of a number a is –a, such that a + (–a) = 0. Example:
- The additive inverse of –7 is 7.
- For 19, the additive inverse is –19.
Identity Elements
- Additive Identity: Zero (0) serves as the additive identity for rational numbers, integers, and whole numbers (a + 0 = a).
- Multiplicative Identity: One (1) is the multiplicative identity for rational numbers; multiplying a rational number by 1 yields the same number (a × 1 = a).
Negative Numbers
- The negative of a number a is defined as –a, making it the additive inverse of a. For example, if a = 2, then –2 is the negative.
Rational Numbers on Number Line
- Rational numbers can occupy positions between integers on the number line, making them dense. For instance, between –1 and 0, and between 0 and 1, there are infinite rational numbers.
Finding Rational Numbers
- Express whole or fractional ranges with a common denominator to identify rational numbers in between. For example:
- To find numbers between –2 and 0, convert them to fractions (–20/10 and 0/10) and identify values such as –19/10, –18/10, etc.
Examples of Rational Numbers
- Example of rational numbers between –5 and 5 might include –19/24, –18/24, up to 14/24 when listed with a common denominator of 24.
Conclusion
- Rational numbers encompass a robust framework where operations like addition, subtraction, and multiplication maintain closure, while the concept of additive inverses and identifying dense numbers on the number line plays a critical role in understanding their properties.
