Study Notes
Real Numbers
Classification
Real numbers represent quantities along a continuous number line. They can be classified based upon their rationality or irrationality. All numbers are either rational or irrational, but cannot be both rational and irrational. The broadest classification of real numbers is into rational and irrational.
Rational Numbers
Rational numbers are those that can be represented as the quotient of two integers, without fractional or decimal parts. They include all integers (both positive and negative) and fractions, consisting of many decimals. It's important to note that all integers are also considered rationals.
Irrational Numbers
Conversely, irrational numbers are those that cannot be written as the ratio of two integers. Their decimal forms neither stop nor repeat. Examples of irrational numbers include pi (π) and the square roots of numbers that are not perfect squares. Real numbers are numbers that are either rational or irrational.
Additionally, real numbers can be classified into three subsets: negative real numbers, zero, and positive real numbers. Each subset includes fractions, decimals, and irrational numbers according to their algebraic sign (+ or –).
Properties
Some essential properties of real numbers include:
- Commutative Property: Changing the order of the numbers when adding or multiplying yields the same result.
- Associative Property: Changing the grouping of the numbers when adding or multiplying does not change the result.
- Identity Property: Adding a specific number to another number leaves the second number unchanged. For instance, adding zero to any number makes it remain the same.
- Inverse Property: There exists an inverse element for every operation. For addition, the inverse of a number 'a' is '-a', and for multiplication, the inverse of 'a' is '1/a'.
- Distributive Property: Multiplying a sum of two real numbers is equal to finding products of all pairs of the numbers involved.
- Zero Product Property: If the product of two non-zero real numbers is zero, one of them must be zero.
- Order Property: Any two real numbers can be compared using the inequality symbols '<', '>', or '='. Real numbers can be arranged in a linear order.
These properties are fundamental to the manipulation and solution of equations involving real numbers in various fields of mathematics, including algebra and calculus. Understanding and utilizing these properties effectively enables problem-solving skills and enhances understanding of complex mathematical concepts.
