    Study Notes

    Rational numbers

    • A number that can be written in the form of a/b, where a and b are integers and b ≠ 0, is called a rational number.
    • Rational numbers are represented by the symbol ℚ, where ℚ ⊂ ℤ ⊂ ℕ.
    • Rational numbers with a positive sign are located on the right side of zero on a number line, and rational numbers with a negative sign are located on the left side of zero.
    • Proper fractions are located between 0 and 1 on the number line.
    • Improper fractions are located on the number line by first converting them to mixed fractions.
    • Mixed fractions are located on the number line by first converting them to improper fractions.
    • To find the sum of two rational numbers with different signs, follow these steps:
      • Take the sign of the addend with the greater absolute value.
      • Subtract the absolute value of the smaller addend from the absolute value of the larger addend.
      • Put the sign of the larger addend in front of the difference.
    • Rational numbers can be expressed as decimals and are either terminating or repeating.
    • To multiply any two rational numbers, multiply the numerators and the denominators.
    • To add or subtract rational numbers with different denominators, a common denominator must be found.
    • The additive identity of rational numbers is 0.
    • The multiplicative identity of rational numbers is 1.
    • To find the difference between two rational numbers, the smaller rational number is subtracted from the larger rational number.

    Properties of Rational Numbers

    • Closure Property: For any two rational numbers a and b, a + b and a × b are also rational numbers.
    • Associative Property: For any three rational numbers a, b and c, (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) and (a × b) × c = a × (b × c).
    • Commutative Property: For any two rational numbers a and b, a + b = b + a and a × b = b × a.
    • Distributive Property: For any three rational numbers a, b and c, a × (b + c) = a × b + a × c.
    • Identity Property: 0 is the additive identity and 1 is the multiplicative identity.
    • Inverse Property: Each rational number has an additive inverse and each non-zero rational number has a multiplicative inverse.

    Absolute Value of Rational Numbers

    • The absolute value of a rational number 'a' is denoted as '│a│' and it represents the distance of 'a' from 0 on the number line.
    • The absolute value of a non-zero rational number is always positive.
    • The absolute value of 0 is 0.
