Study Notes

Classification of Real Numbers

  • Whole Numbers: Include all counting numbers and zero, represented as {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...}.
  • Integers: Encompass all positive and negative whole numbers along with zero, shown as {... -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...}.
  • Rational Numbers: Defined as numbers that can be expressed as a fraction of two integers (e.g., a/b, where b ≠ 0).
  • Irrational Numbers: Numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers; they are characterized by non-repeating and non-terminating decimals.

Examples of Real Numbers

  • -54/9: Falls under both integer and rational categories; simplifies to -6.
  • 3√15: Classified as an irrational number; cannot be simplified to a fraction.
  • 32.343434343...: Considered rational due to its repeating decimal pattern.
  • √81: A whole, integer, rational, and natural number as it equals 9.
  • -2/7: Recognized as a rational number, being a fraction of two integers.
  • 0: Categorized as a whole number, integer, and rational, as it can be written as 0/1.
  • 23.9: A rational number classified as a terminating decimal.
  • √-25: Not a real number, falls outside the set of real numbers due to the negative square root.
