Study Notes

The Real Number System

The set of real numbers can be represented on a number line.
Positive numbers are to the right of zero and negative numbers are to the left.
The absolute value of a real number is its distance from zero.
It is always non-negative.

Interval Notation

Interval notation is used to represent sets of real numbers.
It uses parentheses ( ) to exclude endpoints and square brackets [ ] to include endpoints.
Infinity (∞) and negative infinity (−∞) are always represented with parentheses.

Algebraic Expressions

Letters, such as x and y, represent variables in algebra.
Algebraic expressions are combinations of variables, numbers, and operations.
The order of operations is used to evaluate expressions.

Properties of Real Numbers

Real numbers have the following properties:
- Commutative: order of addition or multiplication doesn't affect the result.
- Associative: grouping of addition or multiplication doesn't affect the result.
- Distributive: multiplication distributes over addition or subtraction.
- Identity: zero is the additive identity and one is the multiplicative identity.
- Inverse: every number has an additive inverse (opposite) and every non-zero number has a multiplicative inverse (reciprocal).
Closure Property: Adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing real numbers (except for division by zero) results in a real number.

Evaluating Algebraic Expressions

To evaluate an algebraic expression:
- Substitute the given value of the variable.
- Follow the order of operations.

Exponential Expressions

Exponents indicate repeated multiplication.
Properties of exponents help to simplify exponential expressions.

Simplifying Exponential Expressions

To simplify exponential expressions:
- Use the properties of exponents.
- Remove parentheses.
- Combine like terms.
- Eliminate negative and zero exponents.

Scientific Notation

Scientific notation uses powers of ten to express very large or very small numbers.
It is expressed as a number between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of 10.

Simplifying Algebraic Expressions

Terms of an algebraic expression are separated by addition.
Coefficients are the numerical parts of terms.
Like terms have the same variable factors.
Simplifying algebraic expressions:
- Combine like terms by adding their coefficients.
- Use the distributive property to remove parentheses.
- Apply the order of operations.
