    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.
