Prerequisite Chapter Section 1 Real Numbers
2
Classifications of Numbers Imaginary Numbers will be introduced later.
3
Real Numbers Include any number that can be written as a decimal Ex: Split into Rational and Irrational Numbers
4
Real Numbers Rational Numbers All the numbers that can be written as a ratio (fraction) This includes terminating and repeating decimals. Ex: 8, 10013, -54, 7/5, -3/25, 0, 0/6, -1.2,.09,.3333….
5
Real Numbers Rational Numbers Integers Negative and Positive Whole Numbers Zero Ex: -543, 76, 9, 0, -34
6
Real Numbers Rational Numbers Integers Whole Numbers Zero and positive integers Ex: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, …
7
Real Numbers Rational Numbers Integers Whole Numbers Natural Numbers Also known as Counting Numbers Think of young children Ex: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, …
8
Real Numbers Irrational Numbers Numbers that cannot be written as ratios Decimals that never terminate and never repeat Square roots of positive non-perfect squares Ex: √2, -√7, √(8/11), 1.011011101111011111…
9
Graphing Numbers on a Number Line Make sure your number lines have zero Make them fairly accurate Label Important points -3-2021345 0 1520 0-120-119
10
Ordering Real Numbers Less Than< Or equal to≤ Greater Than > Or equal to ≥
11
Bounded Intervals * another way of writing inequalities [a, b] a < x < b closed (a, b) a < x < b open [a, b) a < x < b half-open (a, b] a < x < b half-open Use [ when is less/greater than or equal to Use ( when it is less/greater than
12
Unbounded Intervals [a, ∞) x > a closed (a, ∞) x > a open (-∞, b] x < b closed (-∞, b) x < b open
13
Evaluating Algebraic Expressions Variable – a symbol, usually a lowercase letter, that represents one or more numbers Algebraic expression or variable expression – a mathematical phrase that can include numbers, variables, and operation symbols Constant – letter or symbol used to represent a specific real number
14
Properties of Real Numbers Opposite or Additive Inverse – of any number a is –a The sum of opposites is 0. Reciprocal or Multiplicative Inverse – of any number a is Think of it as a flip Remember you may have to make a decimal into a fraction before flipping it. Use the place (hundredths) to write a fraction. The product of reciprocals is 1.
15
Properties of Real Numbers PropertyAdditionMultiplication Closurea+b is a real number ab is a real number Commutative commute = to move a + b = b + aab = ba Associative associate = regroup (a+b)+c = a+(b+c)(ab)c = a(bc) Identitya+0=a,0+a=aa*1=a, 1*a=a Inversea+(-a)=0a*(1/a)=1,a≠0 Distributivea(b+c) = ab + ac
16
Properties of additive inverses 1. -(-u) = u 2. (-u)v = -uv 3. (-u)(-v) = uv 4. (-1)(u) = -u 5. -(u + v) = -u + -v Examples 1. -(-3) = 3 2. (-4)3 = -12 3. (-6)(-7) = 42 4. (-1)(5) = -5 5. -(7 + 9) = -7 + -9 = -16
17
Exponents Properties of exponents 1. u m u n = u m + n 2. u m /u n = u m – n 3. u 0 = 1 4. u -n = 1/u n 5. (uv) m = u m v m 6. (u m ) n = u mn 7. (u/v) m = u m /v m
18
Scientific Notation c x 10 m where 1 < c < 10 and m is an integer Convert to scientific notation or standard notation 1. 2.375 X 10 8 = 2. 0.000000349 =
19
Examples Describe and graph the inequality 1. x < 3 all real numbers less than 3 2. Write an inequality and interval for the phrase: the real numbers between -4 and -0.5. -4 < x < -0.5 (-4, -0.5)
20
Examples 3. Convert to inequality notation: [-6, 3) -6 < x < 3 4. Convert to interval notation: x < 7 (-∞, 7] 5. Expand: (a + 2)x ax + 2x 6. Factor: 3y – by y(3 – b)
21
Example Simplify 1. (2ab 3 )(5a 2 b 5 ) = 2. = 3. =
