Study Notes
Rational Numbers
- Any number that can be expressed in the form p/q, where p and q are integers and q ≠0.
- Can be found between any two rational numbers.
- There are infinitely many rational numbers between any two given rational numbers.
Irrational Numbers
- Numbers that cannot be expressed in the form p/q, where p and q are integers and q ≠0.
- Examples include √2, √3, √5, π, and 0.10110111011110...
- There are infinitely many irrational numbers.
Decimal Expansions of Real Numbers
- Rational Numbers:
- Terminating Decimal: The decimal expansion ends after a finite number of steps (e.g., 7/8 = 0.875).
- Non-Terminating Recurring Decimal: The decimal expansion goes on forever, with a repeating block of digits (e.g., 10/3 = 3.333...).
- Irrational Numbers:
- Non-Terminating Non-Recurring Decimal: The decimal expansion goes on forever and does not have a repeating block of digits (e.g., √2 = 1.4142... ).
Operations with Irrational Numbers
- Sum or Difference: The sum or difference of a rational number and an irrational number is always irrational.
- Product or Quotient: The product or quotient of a non-zero rational number and an irrational number is always irrational.Â
- Sum or Difference of Two Irrationals: The result of adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing two irrational numbers can be either rational or irrational.
Square Roots of Real Numbers
- Definition: For a real number a > 0, √a = b means b² = a and b > 0.
Geometric Representation of Square Roots
- Square roots of real numbers can be represented geometrically by constructing a spiral on the number line.
