    Study Notes

    Real Numbers

    Introduction

    • Real numbers are a set of numbers that include all rational and irrational numbers.
    • They can be represented on a number line.

    Euclid's Division Lemma

    • If a and b are positive integers, then there exist unique integers q and r such that a = bq + r, where 0 ≤ r &lt; b.
    • This lemma is used to find the HCF (Highest Common Factor) of two numbers.

    The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic

    • Every composite number can be expressed as a product of prime numbers in a unique way, except for the order in which they are written.
    • This theorem is used to find the prime factorization of a number.

    Irrational Numbers

    • Irrational numbers are real numbers that cannot be expressed as a ratio of integers (e.g., √2, π, e).
    • They can be represented as non-terminating, non-repeating decimals.

    Decimal Expansion of Rational Numbers

    • The decimal expansion of a rational number is either terminating or non-terminating, recurring.
    • Examples: 1/2 = 0.5 (terminating), 1/3 = 0.333... (non-terminating, recurring)

    Repeating Decimals

    • A repeating decimal is a decimal that has a block of digits that repeats infinitely.
    • Examples: 1/3 = 0.333... (repeating decimal), 1/7 = 0.142857... (repeating decimal)

    Operations on Real Numbers

    • Real numbers can be added, subtracted, multiplied, and divided, following the usual rules of arithmetic.
    • The order of operations (PEMDAS) should be followed when performing operations on real numbers.

    Properties of Real Numbers

    • Commutative property: a + b = b + a, a × b = b × a
    • Associative property: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c), (a × b) × c = a × (b × c)
    • Distributive property: a × (b + c) = a × b + a × c
    • Existence of additive and multiplicative identities (0 and 1, respectively) and inverse elements.

    Real Numbers

    • Real numbers include rational and irrational numbers and can be represented on a number line.

    Euclid's Division Lemma

    • The lemma states that for positive integers a and b, there exist unique integers q and r such that a = bq + r, where 0 ≤ r &lt; b.
    • This lemma is used to find the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of two numbers.

    The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic

    • Every composite number can be expressed as a product of prime numbers in a unique way, except for the order in which they are written.
    • This theorem is used to find the prime factorization of a number.

    Irrational Numbers

    • Irrational numbers are real numbers that cannot be expressed as a ratio of integers (e.g., √2, π, e).
    • They can be represented as non-terminating, non-repeating decimals.

    Decimal Expansion of Rational Numbers

    • The decimal expansion of a rational number is either terminating or non-terminating, recurring.
    • Examples: 1/2 = 0.5 (terminating), 1/3 = 0.333... (non-terminating, recurring)

    Repeating Decimals

    • A repeating decimal is a decimal that has a block of digits that repeats infinitely.
    • Examples: 1/3 = 0.333... (repeating decimal), 1/7 = 0.142857... (repeating decimal)

    Operations on Real Numbers

    • Real numbers can be added, subtracted, multiplied, and divided, following the usual rules of arithmetic.
    • The order of operations (PEMDAS) should be followed when performing operations on real numbers.

    Properties of Real Numbers

    • Commutative property: a + b = b + a, a × b = b × a.
    • Associative property: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c), (a × b) × c = a × (b × c).
    • Distributive property: a × (b + c) = a × b + a × c.
    • Existence of additive and multiplicative identities (0 and 1, respectively) and inverse elements.

    Polynomials

    • A polynomial is an expression consisting of variables and coefficients combined using only addition, subtraction, and multiplication.
    • The general form of a polynomial is: a_n x^n + a_(n-1) x^(n-1) +...+ a_1 x + a_0.
    • The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable (x) in the polynomial.
    • Polynomials can be classified into three types: monomial, binomial, and trinomial.
    • A monomial is a polynomial with only one term.
    • A binomial is a polynomial with two terms.
    • A trinomial is a polynomial with three terms.

    Remainder Theorem

    • If p(x) is a polynomial and p(a) = 0, then (x - a) is a factor of p(x).
    • If p(x) is divided by (x - a) and the remainder is r, then p(a) = r.

    Factor Theorem

    • If (x - a) is a factor of p(x), then p(a) = 0.
    • If p(a) = 0, then (x - a) is a factor of p(x).

    Algebraic Identities

    • (x + y)^2 = x^2 + 2xy + y^2.
    • (x - y)^2 = x^2 - 2xy + y^2.
    • x^2 + y^2 = (x + y)^2 - 2xy.
    • (x + y)(x - y) = x^2 - y^2.

    Zeroes of a Polynomial

    • A zero of a polynomial p(x) is a value of x that makes the polynomial equal to zero.
    • The number of zeroes of a polynomial is equal to its degree.
