    Study Notes

    Definition of Rational Numbers

    • A rational number is defined as any number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction of two integers, where the denominator is not zero.
    • Examples include numbers like 1/2, -3, and 4.75.

    Branch of Mathematics

    • The branch of mathematics that extensively utilizes rational numbers is called Algebra.
    • Algebra analyzes relationships involving rational numbers through equations, functions, and expressions.

    Composition of Algebraic Expressions

    • Algebraic expressions are comprised of variables, constants, and mathematical operators (such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division).
    • They can include terms with coefficients and exponents, like 3x² - 2x + 1.

    Structure of Mathematical Expressions

    • Mathematical expressions are formed from numbers, variables, and operators, which can be combined to represent quantities and relationships.
    • Types of expressions include numerical expressions (like 5 + 3) and algebraic expressions (like 2x - 4).

    Collection of Rational Numbers

    • The collection of rational numbers, often denoted as Q, includes all fractions and integers, allowing various applications such as in ratio problems, probability, and statistics.
    • Rational numbers are essential in contexts where precise calculations are necessary, such as engineering and finance.
