Real Numbers

The real number system.

All the numbers mentioned in this lesson belong to the set of Real numbers. The set of real numbers is denoted by the symbol [latex]\mathbb{R}[/latex]. There are five subsets  within the set of real numbers. Let’s go over each one of them.

Five (5) Subsets of Real Numbers

1) The Set of Natural or Counting Numbers 

 The set of the natural numbers (also known as counting numbers) contains the elements

The ellipsis “…” signifies that the numbers go on forever in that pattern.

2) The Set of Whole Numbers

 The set of whole numbers includes all the elements of the natural numbers plus the number zero ( 0 ).

The slight addition of the element zero to the set of natural numbers generates the new set of whole numbers. Simple as that!

3) The Set of Integers

The set of integers includes all the elements of the set of whole numbers and the opposites or “negatives” of all the elements of the set of counting numbers.

4) The Set of Rational Numbers

 The set of rational numbers includes all numbers that can be written as a fraction or as a ratio of integers. However, the denominator cannot be equal to zero.

A rational number may also appear in the form of a decimal. If a decimal number is repeating or terminating, it can be written as a fraction, therefore, it must be a rational number.

Examples of terminating decimals :

Examples of repeating decimals :

5) The Set of Irrational Numbers 

The set of irrational numbers can be described in many ways. These are the common ones.

• Irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be written as a ratio of two integers. This description is exactly the opposite of that of rational numbers.
• Irrational numbers are the leftover numbers after all rational numbers are removed from the set of the real numbers. You may think of it as,

irrational numbers = real numbers “minus” rational numbers

• Irrational numbers if written in decimal forms don’t terminate and don’t repeat.

There’s really no standard symbol to represent the set of irrational numbers. But you may encounter the one below.

b) Euler’s number

c) The square root of 2

Here’s a quick diagram that can help you classify real numbers.

Practice Problems on How to Classify Real Numbers

Example 1 : Tell if the statement is true or false.  Every whole number is a natural number.

Solution: The set of whole numbers includes all natural or counting numbers and the number zero (0). Since zero is a whole number that is NOT a natural number, therefore the statement is FALSE.

Example 2 : Tell if the statement is true or false.  All integers are whole numbers.

Solution: The number -1 is an integer that is NOT a whole number. This makes the statement FALSE.

Example 3 : Tell if the statement is true or false. The number zero (0) is a rational number.

Solution: The number zero can be written as a ratio of two integers, thus it is indeed a rational number. This statement is TRUE.

Example 4 : Name the set or sets of numbers to which each real number belongs.

1) [latex]7[/latex]

It belongs to the sets of natural numbers, {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, …}. It is a whole number because the set of whole numbers includes the natural numbers plus zero. It is an integer since it is both a natural and a whole number. Finally, since 7 can be written as a fraction with a denominator of 1, 7/1, then it is also a rational number.

2) [latex]0[/latex]

This is not a natural number because it cannot be found in the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, …}. This is definitely a whole number, an integer, and a rational number. It is rational since 0 can be expressed as fractions such as 0/3, 0/16, and 0/45.

3) [latex]0.3\overline {18}[/latex]

This number obviously doesn’t belong to the set of natural numbers, set of whole numbers, and set of integers. Observe that 18 is repeating, and so this is a rational number. In fact, we can write it as a ratio of two integers.

4) [latex]\sqrt 5 [/latex]

This is not a rational number because it is not possible to write it as a fraction. If we evaluate it, the square root of 5 will have a decimal value that is non-terminating and non-repeating. This makes it an irrational number.

Real Numbers

Introduction.

Real numbers are the set of all rational and irrational numbers . They can be represented on the number line and include positive and negative numbers , as well as zero.

Types of Real Numbers

Real numbers can be categorized into different types:

• Natural Numbers (N): These are the counting numbers (1, 2, 3, ...).
• Whole Numbers (W): These are the natural numbers along with zero (0, 1, 2, 3, ...).
• Integers (Z): These include all the whole numbers and their negatives, along with zero (... -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...).
• Rational Numbers (Q): These are numbers that can be expressed as a ratio of two integers , where the denominator is not zero (e.g., 1/2, -3/4, 5).
• Irrational Numbers : These are numbers that cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers and have non-repeating, non-terminating decimal expansions (e.g., √2, π).

Operations on Real Numbers

Real numbers can be operated on using the following operations :

• Addition (+)
• Subtraction (-)
• Multiplication (x or *)
• Division (÷ or /)

Properties of Real Numbers

Real numbers follow certain properties under the basic operations :

• Commutative Property : a + b = b + a; a x b = b x a
• Associative Property : (a + b) + c = a + (b + c); (a x b) x c = a x (b x c)
• Distributive Property : a x (b + c) = a x b + a x c
• Identity Property : a + 0 = a; a x 1 = a
• Inverse Property : a + (-a) = 0; a x (1/a) = 1 (for a ≠ 0)

Study Guide

When studying real numbers , it's important to understand the different types of real numbers and their properties. Practice representing real numbers on a number line and performing operations with them. Make sure to review the properties of real numbers and how they apply to addition , subtraction , multiplication , and division . Additionally, familiarize yourself with rational and irrational numbers , and how they differ from each other.

It can also be helpful to practice solving problems involving real numbers , including simplifying expressions and solving equations . Work on identifying patterns and relationships between different types of real numbers , and how they interact with each other in mathematical operations .

Lastly, don't forget to review the properties of real numbers and how they can be applied to solve problems and simplify mathematical expressions .

Real numbers form the basis of much of mathematics, and having a strong understanding of their properties and operations is crucial for success in various mathematical topics. By mastering the concepts and properties of real numbers , you'll be better equipped to tackle more advanced mathematical concepts and problem-solving tasks.

irrational number. The square root of two does not terminate, and it does not repeat a pattern. It cannot be written as a quotient of two integers, so it is irrational.

The Associative Properties state that the sum or product of multiple numbers can be grouped differently without affecting the result. This is because the same operation is performed (either addition or subtraction), so the terms can be re-ordered.

1.2 Section Exercises

No, the two expressions are not the same. An exponent tells how many times you multiply the base. So 2 3 2 3 is the same as 2 × 2 × 2 , 2 × 2 × 2 , which is 8. 3 2 3 2 is the same as 3 × 3 , 3 × 3 , which is 9.

It is a method of writing very small and very large numbers.

The statement is true. In standard form, the polynomial with the highest value exponent is placed first and is the leading term. The degree of a polynomial is the value of the highest exponent, which in standard form is also the exponent of the leading term.

1.5 Section Exercises

The terms of a polynomial do not have to have a common factor for the entire polynomial to be factorable. For example, 4 x 2 4 x 2 and −9 y 2 −9 y 2 don’t have a common factor, but the whole polynomial is still factorable: 4 x 2 −9 y 2 = ( 2 x + 3 y ) ( 2 x −3 y ) . 4 x 2 −9 y 2 = ( 2 x + 3 y ) ( 2 x −3 y ) .

Divide the x x term into the sum of two terms, factor each portion of the expression separately, and then factor out the GCF of the entire expression.

You can factor the numerator and denominator to see if any of the terms can cancel one another out.

True. Multiplication and division do not require finding the LCD because the denominators can be combined through those operations, whereas addition and subtraction require like terms.
