Study Notes
Whole Numbers
- Whole numbers include 0 and positive integers.
- Closed under addition: a + b is a whole number for any whole numbers a and b.
- Not closed under subtraction: 5 - 7 = -2 is not a whole number.
- Closed under multiplication: ab is a whole number for any whole numbers a and b.
- Not closed under division: 5/8 is not a whole number.
Integers
- Integers include positive and negative whole numbers, as well as zero.
- Closed under addition: a + b is an integer for any integers a and b.
- Closed under subtraction: a - b is an integer for any integers a and b.
- Closed under multiplication: ab is an integer for any integers a and b.
Rational Numbers
- Rational numbers include any number expressible as a fraction where numerator and denominator are integers.
- Closed under addition: the sum of any two rational numbers is a rational number.
- Closed under subtraction: the difference of any two rational numbers is a rational number.
- Closed under multiplication: the product of any two rational numbers is a rational number.
- Not closed under division: caution with zero in the denominator.
Commutative Property
- Applies to addition and multiplication within whole numbers and integers.
- Commutative in whole number addition: 5 + 9 = 14 and 9 + 5 = 14.
- Not commutative for subtraction: a - b ≠b - a.
- Commutative in multiplication: 4 x 9 = 36 and 9 x 4 = 36.
- Not commutative for division: 9 ÷ 3 ≠3 ÷ 9.
Associative Property
- Addition of whole numbers is associative: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c).
- Subtraction is not associative; changing grouping alters the result.
- Multiplication of whole numbers is associative: (a x b) x c = a x (b x c).
- Division is not associative; altering grouping can lead to different results.
Summary of Arithmetic Operations
- Addition: Always commutative and associative across whole numbers, integers, and rational numbers.
- Subtraction: Not commutative or associative for any number category.
- Multiplication: Always commutative and associative across whole numbers, integers, and rational numbers.
- Division: Not commutative or associative in any number category.
Operations with Rational Numbers
- Addition and multiplication of rational numbers maintain their property of closure.
- Detailed examples demonstrate the addition and multiplication processes.
- Subtraction and division examples illustrate the properties and results of rational numbers.
General Insights
- Numbers can be categorized into whole numbers, integers, and rational numbers.
- Each number type has specific closure properties and operational characteristics.
- Understanding the commutative and associative properties aids in simplifying calculations and developing mathematical reasoning.
