1
1-3 REAL NUMBERS AND THE NUMBER LINE I Can: - classify, graph, and compare real numbers. - find and estimate square roots.
2
VOCABULARY TO KNOW Square Root A number a is a square root of a number b if a 2 = b Example: 7 2 = 49, so 7 is the square root of 49.
3
SQUARE ROOT You can use the definition of square root to find the exact square roots of some nonnegative numbers. The radical symbol indicates a nonnegative square root, that is also called the principal square root.
4
VOCABULARY TO KNOW Radicand The expression under the radical symbol is called the radicand. x is the radicand in this case
5
VOCABULARY TO KNOW Radical Together, the radical symbol and radicand form a radical.
6
SIMPLIFYING SQUARE ROOT EXPRESSIONS
7
VOCABULARY TO KNOW Perfect Square The square of an integer For this class, you are required to memorize all perfect squares from 1-144. Copy this list and study it. 1 2 = 17 2 = 49 2 2 = 48 2 = 64 3 2 = 99 2 = 81 4 2 = 1610 2 = 100 5 2 = 2511 2 = 121 6 2 = 3612 2 = 144
8
ESTIMATING A SQUARE ROOT Lobster eyes are made of tiny square regions. Under a microscope, the surface of the eye looks like graph paper. A scientist measured the area of one of the squares to be 386 square microns. What is the approximate side length of the square of the nearest micron?
9
TYPES OF NUMBERS Numbers can be classified by their characteristics. Some can be represented on the number line.
10
SETS Numbers are classified using sets. Set - a well-defined collection of objects. Each object is an element of the set. Subset - consists of elements from the given set.
11
Sets of Numbers 0 natural numbers {1,2,3,…} 0 whole numbers {0,1,2,3,…} 0 Integers {…,-2,-1,0,1,2,…}
12
Sets of Numbers 456783
13
45678 Irrational numbers cannot be written in as a quotient of two integers. Decimals are non-terminating Ex: 0.1010010001…, 3.141592… 3
14
#1#2 integer, rational What kind of number is 42? What kind of number is -5? natural, whole, integer, rational
15
#3 What kind of number is -4.5669? rational
16
#4 Give an example of a whole number that isn’t positive.
17
REAL NUMBERS Rational numbers and irrational numbers form the set of real numbers. Subsets of real numbers: Natural Whole Integer Rational Irrational
18
Inequalities An inequality is a mathematical sentence comparing the values of two expressions using an inequality symbol. 012345678-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-9 8-6 >
