COLLEGE ALGEBRA MATH030 Excellence and Relevance  THE REAL NUMBER SYSTEM M1 LESSON 1 Excellence and Relevance  SET A set is a group or collection of objects that are called members or elements of the set. Ex. The starting lineup on a baseball team is a subset of the entire team. The set of natural numbers, {1, 2, 3, 4, If every member of set B is also a …}, is a subset of the set of whole member of set A, then we say B is numbers, {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, …}, which is a subset of the set of integers, {…, −4, a subset of A and denote it as −3, −2, −1, 0, 1, 2, 3, …}. B ⊂ A. Excellence and Relevance  SET If a set has no elements, it is called the empty set, or null set, and is denoted by the symbol: The set of real numbers consists of two main subsets: Ø Rational & Irrational numbers Excellence and Relevance  THE REAL NUMBER SYSTEM REAL NUMBERS IRRATIONAL NUMBERS RATIONAL NUMBERS TRANSCENDENTAL INTEGERS FRACTION NUMBERS SURD !

ØThe real number system consists of the positive numbers, the negative numbers, and zero. Excellence and Relevance  RATIONAL AND IRRATIONAL NUMBERS Note that: ! Rational Numbers include all integers or all fractions that are ratios of integers. For example, " and 3. 6# are rational numbers, while 2 and 3.2179 … are irrational. The ellipsis following the last decimal digit denotes continuing in an irregular fashion, whereas the absence of such dots to the right of the last decimal digit implies that the decimal expansion terminates.
