Whole Numbers:
Integers:
Rational Numbers:
• Irrational Numbers:

4. 1.1 Example
Indicate the set each number belongs to.

5. 1.1 The Set of Real Numbers and the Number Line
Every real number corresponds to a point on the number line.

6. 1.1 The Rectangular Coordinate System
The number corresponding to a particular point on the number line is called the coordinate of the point.
• This correspondence is called a coordinate system.

11. 1.1 The Pythagorean Theorem
In a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the lengths of the
legs is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse.

12. 1.1 The Distance Formula d
Q (x1, y2)

13. 1.1 The Distance Formula Distance Formula
Suppose that P(x1, y1) and R(x2, y2) are two points
in a coordinate plane. Then the distance between
P and R, written d(P,R), is given by the distance
formula

14. 1.1 Example Using the Distance Formula
Find the length of the line segment that joins the points P(8, 4) and Q(3, 2).
Solution:

15. 1.1 Midpoint Formula
The midpoint of the line segment with endpoints and has coordinates

16. 1.1 Midpoint Formula Example Solution:
Find the midpoint M of the segment with endpoints (8, 4) and (9,6).
Solution:

17. 1.1 Application: Estimating Tuition and Fees
In 2002, average tuition and fees at public colleges and universities were $4081, whereas they were $6585 in Use the midpoint formula to estimate tuition and fees in Compare your estimate with the actual value of $5491.
The year 2005 lies midway between 2002 and Therefore, we can use the midpoint formula.
The midpoint formula estimates tuition and fees at public colleges and universities to be $5333 in This is within $158 of the actual value.
