Definition of Real Numbers: Real numbers include (ℝ) all the numbers on the number line, encompassing rational and irrational numbers. o Rational Numbers: Numbers that can be expressed as the quotient of 1 two integers (e.g., , 3, −4, −0.75). 2 o Irrational Numbers: Numbers that cannot be expressed as a simple fraction (e.g., 𝜋, √2, 𝑒). 2. Specific Examples of Real Numbers: o 2 (an integer (ℤ), rational number (ℚ)) o −5 (an integer (ℤ), rational number (ℚ)) o 0 (an integer (ℤ), rational number (ℚ)) 3 o 4 (a rational number (ℚ)) o 0.5 (a rational number (ℚ)) o √2 (an irrational number (ℝ\ℚ)) o 𝜋 (an irrational number (ℝ\ℚ)) o 𝑒 (an irrational number (ℝ\ℚ)) 3. Complex Numbers: Complex numbers (ℂ) include all numbers of the form 𝑎 + 𝑏𝑖, where 𝑎 and 𝑏 are real numbers, and 𝑖 is the imaginary unit with the property that 𝑖 2 = −1. Examples of Complex Numbers: o 2 + 3𝑖 o −1 − 𝑖 o 0 + 5𝑖 (which is purely imaginary) 4. Properties of Real Numbers: o Commutative Property: The order in which two numbers are added or multiplied does not change their sum or product. ▪ Addition: 𝑎 + 𝑏 = 𝑏 + 𝑎 ▪ Multiplication: 𝑎 ⋅ 𝑏 = 𝑏 ⋅ 𝑎 o Associative Property: The way in which numbers are grouped in addition or multiplication does not change their sum or product. ▪ Addition: (𝑎 + 𝑏) + 𝑐 = 𝑎 + (𝑏 + 𝑐) ▪ Multiplication: (𝑎 ⋅ 𝑏) ⋅ 𝑐 = 𝑎 ⋅ (𝑏 ⋅ 𝑐) o Distributive Property: The sum of two numbers times a third number is equal to the sum of each addend times the third number.

Order of Operations 1. Definition: Order of operations is the sequence in which operations should be performed in a mathematical expression to ensure consistent and correct results. 2. PEMDAS Rule: An acronym to remember the order of operations: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, and Division (left-to-right), Addition and Subtraction (left-to-right). o Parentheses o Exponents (including roots, such as square roots) o Multiplication and Division (left-to-right) o Addition and Subtraction (left-to-right) Inequalities 1. Definition: Inequalities are mathematical statements that compare two values or expressions using inequality symbols. 2. Symbols: Inequality symbols are used to show the relative size of two values. o Greater than (>) o Less than ( 𝑏 and 𝑏 > 𝑐, then 𝑎 > 𝑐. o Addition Property: If 𝑎 > 𝑏, then 𝑎 + 𝑐 > 𝑏 + 𝑐. o Multiplication Property: If 𝑎 > 𝑏 and 𝑐 > 0, then 𝑎 ⋅ 𝑐 > 𝑏 ⋅ 𝑐.

Definition: The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, always a non-negative value. 2. Notation: |𝑥| 3. Properties: o |𝑥| = 𝑥 if 𝑥 ≥ 0 o |𝑥| = −𝑥 if 𝑥 < 0 o |𝑎𝑏| = |𝑎| ⋅ |𝑏| 𝑎 |𝑎| o |𝑏 | = |𝑏| for 𝑏 ≠ 0 Intervals and Bounded Sets 1. Definition of Intervals: An interval is a set of real numbers between two endpoints. 2. Types of Intervals: o Closed Interval: [𝑎, 𝑏] includes all numbers between 𝑎 and 𝑏, including the endpoints. o Open Interval: (𝑎, 𝑏) includes all numbers between 𝑎 and 𝑏, excluding the endpoints. o Half-Open Interval: [𝑎, 𝑏) or (𝑎, 𝑏] includes all numbers between 𝑎 and 𝑏, including only one endpoint. 3. Bounded Sets: o A set is bounded if it has both upper and lower bounds. o Upper Bound: A number 𝑀 is an upper bound of a set 𝑆 if 𝑥 ≤ 𝑀 for all 𝑥 ∈ 𝑆. o Lower Bound: A number 𝑚 is a lower bound of a set 𝑆 if 𝑚 ≤ 𝑥 for all 𝑥 ∈ 𝑆.
