Study Notes
Properties Of Real Numbers
- Commutative Property:
- Addition: a + b = b + a
- Multiplication: a * b = b * a
- Associative Property:
- Addition: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c)
- Multiplication: (a * b) * c = a * (b * c)
- Distributive Property: a * (b + c) = (a * b) + (a * c)
- Identity Elements:
- Addition: 0 is the additive identity (a + 0 = a)
- Multiplication: 1 is the multiplicative identity (a * 1 = a)
- Inverse Elements:
- Additive Inverse: a + (-a) = 0
- Multiplicative Inverse: a * (1/a) = 1 (for a ≠0)
Number Line Representation
- A continuous line that represents all real numbers.
- Points on the line correspond to real numbers, with:
- Positive numbers to the right of zero.
- Negative numbers to the left of zero.
- The distance between any two points represents the difference between the corresponding numbers.
Rational And Irrational Numbers
- Rational Numbers:
- Can be expressed as a fraction a/b, where a and b are integers, and b ≠0.
- Includes integers, terminating decimals, and repeating decimals.
- Irrational Numbers:
- Cannot be expressed as a fraction of integers.
- Their decimal expansions are non-terminating and non-repeating (e.g., √2, π).
Operations On Real Numbers
- Addition: Combines two numbers to yield a sum.
- Subtraction: Finds the difference between two numbers.
- Multiplication: Multiplies two numbers to yield a product.
- Division: Divides one number by another to yield a quotient (denominator cannot be zero).
- Order of Operations: Follow PEMDAS/BODMAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (left to right), Addition and Subtraction (left to right)).
Real Number System
- Comprises:
- Natural Numbers (N): Positive integers (1, 2, 3,...).
- Whole Numbers (W): Natural numbers plus zero (0, 1, 2, 3,...).
- Integers (Z): Whole numbers and their negatives (..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3,...).
- Rational Numbers (Q): Ratios of integers.
- Irrational Numbers: Non-repeating, non-terminating decimals.
- All these sets together constitute the set of Real Numbers (R).
Formula
- General formulas involving real numbers:
- Distance Formula: d = |x2 - x1| (distance between two points on the number line).
- Midpoint Formula: M = (x1 + x2) / 2 (midpoint between two points on the number line).
- Quadratic Formula: x = [-b ± √(b² - 4ac)] / 2a (solutions for ax² + bx + c = 0).
Properties Of Real Numbers
- Commutative Property: Addition and multiplication can switch the order without affecting the result.
- Associative Property: Grouping of numbers in addition and multiplication does not change the result.
- Distributive Property: Multiplying a number by a sum yields the same result as multiplying each addend separately and then adding.
- Identity Elements:
- 0 is the additive identity, meaning any number plus zero equals the original number.
- 1 is the multiplicative identity, so any number multiplied by one equals the original number.
- Inverse Elements:
- Additive inverse means any number added to its negative equals zero.
- Multiplicative inverse states any non-zero number multiplied by its reciprocal equals one.
Number Line Representation
- Represents all real numbers as a continuous line.
- Positive numbers are located to the right of zero, while negative numbers are on the left.
- The distance between points on the line illustrates the numerical difference between them.
Rational And Irrational Numbers
- Rational Numbers: Can be written as a fraction of integers (a/b) where b is not zero; this category includes whole numbers, terminating decimals, and repeating decimals.
- Irrational Numbers: Cannot be represented as a fraction; they have non-terminating and non-repeating decimal expansions, such as √2 and π.
Operations On Real Numbers
- Addition combines two numbers, producing a sum.
- Subtraction calculates the difference between two numbers.
- Multiplication produces a product from two numbers.
- Division results in a quotient from one number divided by another, with the condition that the denominator cannot be zero.
- Order of Operations dictated by PEMDAS/BODMAS ensures calculations are performed in a consistent sequence.
Real Number System
- Natural Numbers (N): The set of all positive integers starting from 1.
- Whole Numbers (W): Natural numbers including zero.
- Integers (Z): All whole numbers and their negatives.
- Rational Numbers (Q): Numbers that can be expressed as ratios of integers.
- Irrational Numbers: Numbers with non-repeating, non-terminating decimal forms.
- These sets collectively form the Real Numbers (R), encompassing all possible real number types.
Formula
- General formulas involving real numbers include:
- Distance Formula: d = |x2 - x1| to calculate the distance between two points.
- Midpoint Formula: M = (x1 + x2) / 2 for finding the midpoint between two points.
- Quadratic Formula: x = [-b ± √(b² - 4ac)] / 2a to find solutions for quadratic equations in the form of ax² + bx + c = 0.
