Math 103 Lecture 1 Dr. Mustafa El-Agamy Dr. Mohammad Yasin Numbers ▪ Natural numbers: ℕ = {1, 2, 3, 4, … } ▪ Whole numbers: ℕ ∗ = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, … } ▪ Integer numbers: ℤ = { … , −3, −2, −1, 0, 1, 2, 3, … } 1 4 −10 ▪ Rational numbers: ℚ = {𝒏/𝒎; 𝑛, 𝑚 ∈ ℤ; 𝑚 ≠ 0} 2 3 ത Examples: = 0.5, = 1. 3, 5 = −2 ▪ Irrational numbers: ℚ′ = {ⅇ, 𝜋, 2 , … } ▪ Real numbers: ℝ = ℚ ⋃ ℚ′ = −∞, +∞ ℕ, ℤ and ℚ contain discrete data values, while ℝ contains continuous data values. Venn Diagram of Number System Functions 𝒚=𝒇 𝒙 Vertical Line Test A function ƒ can have only one value ƒ (𝒙) for each 𝒙 in its domain, so no vertical line can intersect the graph of a function more than once. Function Not a function (Relation) Domain & Range A function ƒ is like a machine that produces an output value ƒ(𝒙) in its range whenever we feed it an input value 𝒙 from its domain. The domain is the largest set of real 𝒙-values for which the formula gives real 𝒚-values.
