Study Notes
Rational Numbers
- A rational number is a number that can be expressed as the ratio of two integers, i.e., p/q, where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.
- Examples: 3/4, 22/7, -5/2
- Properties:
- Closure: The result of adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing two rational numbers is always a rational number.
- Commutativity: The order of rational numbers does not change the result of addition or multiplication.
- Associativity: The order in which rational numbers are added or multiplied does not change the result.
- Distributivity: Multiplication of rational numbers is distributive over addition.
Understanding Shapes
-
Points, Lines, and Planes:
- A point has no size, only location.
- A line extends infinitely in two directions.
- A plane is a flat surface that extends infinitely in all directions.
-
Types of Angles:
- Acute angle: less than 90°
- Right angle: exactly 90°
- Obtuse angle: greater than 90° but less than 180°
- Straight angle: exactly 180°
-
Properties of Shapes:
- Congruent shapes: have the same size and shape.
- Similar shapes: have the same shape but not necessarily the same size.
- Perimeter: the distance around a shape.
- Area: the amount of space inside a shape.
Linear Equations in One Variable
- A linear equation in one variable is an equation in which the highest power of the variable is 1.
- General form: ax + b = 0, where a and b are constants, and x is the variable.
- Methods for solving linear equations:
- Addition/Subtraction method
- Multiplication/Division method
- Transposition method
- Key concepts:
- Solving for the variable: finding the value of the variable that makes the equation true.
- Checking solutions: verifying that the solution satisfies the equation.
