Study Notes
Integers (Z)
- Integers include all positive and negative whole numbers, and zero.
- Notation: {...−1, −2, 0, 1, 2,...}
Natural Numbers (N)
- Natural numbers are used for counting and are all positive integers.
- Notation: {0, 1, 2,...} (Note the inclusion of 0)
Real Numbers (R)
- Real numbers encompass all numbers on the number line.
- Examples: 15, √15, 0, −2
Rational Numbers (Q)
- Rational numbers can be expressed as a fraction (p/q) where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.
- All integers are rational numbers (e.g., 1 = 1/1).
- Examples: 15, 5/1 ( = 5), 2/3, 3/2, 0/3 (= 0)
Irrational Numbers (I)
- Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers.
- They are all real numbers that are not rational.
- Examples: π, √2, √3
