2 2 Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. Numbers, Data and Problem Solving ♦ Recognize common sets of numbers ♦ Evaluate Expressions by applying the order of operations ♦ Learn scientific notation and use it in applications ♦ Apply problem solving strategies 1.1

3 Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 3 Natural Numbers and Integers Natural Numbers (or counting numbers) are numbers in the set N = {1, 2, 3,...}. Integers are numbers in the set I = {…  3,  2,  1, 0, 1, 2, 3,...}. These are the natural numbers, their additive inverses (negatives), and 0.

4 Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 4 Rational Numbers Rational Numbers are numbers which can be expressed as the ratio of two integers p/q where q  0 Examples: Note that: Every integer is a rational number. Rational numbers can be expressed as decimals that either terminate (end) or repeat a sequence of digits.

5 Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 5 Numbers Irrational Numbers Irrational Numbers are numbers which are not rational numbers. Irrational numbers: Cannot be expressed as the ratio of two integers. Have a decimal representation which does not terminate and does not repeat a sequence of digits. Examples:

6 Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 6 Numbers Real Numbers Real Numbers are can be represented by decimal numbers. Real numbers include both the rational and irrational numbers. Examples:

7 Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 7 Example: Classify Numbers Classify each number as one or more of the following: natural number, integer, rational number, irrational number. 5 : natural number, integer, rational number –1.2 : rational number Solution : rational number

8 Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 8 Example: Classify Numbers : irrational number : natural number, integer, rational number –12: integer, rational number Solution (continued)

9 Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 9 Order of Operations Using the following order of operations, first perform all calculations within parentheses, square roots, and absolute value bars and above and below fraction bars. Then use the same order of operations to perform any remaining calculations. 1.Evaluate all exponents. Then do any negation after evaluating exponents. 2.Do all multiplication and division from left to right. 3.Do all addition and subtraction from left to right.

10 Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 10 Example: Evaluating Arithmetic Expressions Evaluate each expression by hand. Solution

11 Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 11 Scientific Notation A real number r is in scientific notation when r is written as c  10 n, where 1 ≤ |c| < 10 and n is an integer. Examples: The distance to the sun is 93,000,000 mi. In scientific notation this is 9.3  10 7 mi. The size of a typical virus is 0.000005 cm. In scientific notation this is 5  10  6 cm.

12 Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 12 Example: Evaluating Expressions by Hand Evaluate each expression. Write your result in scientific notation and standard form.

13 Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 13 Solution Example: Evaluating Expressions by Hand

14 Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 14 Solution (continued) Example: Evaluating Expressions by Hand

15 Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 15 Problem Solving Possible Solution Strategies Make a sketch. Apply formulas.

16 Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 16 The volume V of the cylindrical soda can is given by V =  r 2 h, where r is its radius and h is its height. a. If r = 1.4 inches and h = 5 inches, find the volume of the can in cubic inches. b. Could this can hold 16 fluid ounces? (Hint: 1 cubic inch equals 0.55 fluid ounces.) Solution Example: Finding the Volume of a soda can

17 Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 17 b. Could this can hold 16 fluid ounces? (Hint: 1 cubic inch equals 0.55 fluid ounces.) To find the number of fluid ounces, multiply the number of cubic inches by 0.55. Yes, the can could hold 16 fluid ounces. Example: Finding the Volume of a soda can
