Real Numbers
Definition
- A real number is a value that can be represented on the number line
- Includes all rational and irrational numbers
Properties
-
Commutative Property: The order of real numbers does not change the result of addition and multiplication
- a + b = b + a
- a × b = b × a
-
Associative Property: The order in which real numbers are added or multiplied does not change the result
- (a + b) + c = a + (b + c)
- (a × b) × c = a × (b × c)
-
Distributive Property: Real numbers can be multiplied by a single value and distributed to all terms
- a × (b + c) = a × b + a × c
Types of Real Numbers
- Rational Numbers: Can be expressed as a fraction (p/q), where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0
-
Irrational Numbers: Cannot be expressed as a fraction, have infinite non-repeating decimals
- Examples: π, e, √2
Operations on Real Numbers
- Addition: Combining two or more real numbers to get a total or a sum
- Subtraction: Finding the difference between two or more real numbers
- Multiplication: Combining two or more real numbers to get a product
- Division: Dividing one real number by another, as long as the divisor is not zero
Important Real Numbers
- Pi (π): An irrational number representing the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter
- Euler's Number (e): An irrational number approximately equal to 2.718, used in mathematical calculations
