RATIONAL NUMBERS
RATIONAL NUMBERS. The numbers of the form p/q (q=0) is called a RATIONAL NUMBER. Examples: 5/7 6/8 -6/9 etc. • PROPERTIES OF RATIONAL NUMBERS. • CLOSURE PROPERTY • RATIONAL NO. ARE CLOSED UNDER ADDITION , SUBTRACTION & MULTIPLICATION. • THEY ARE NOT CLOSED UNDER DIVISION. • CUMMUTATIVE PROPERTY • RATIONAL NUMBERS ARE COMMUTATIVE UNDER ADDITION AND MULTIPLICATION. • THEY ARE NOT COMMUTATIVE UNDER SUBTRACTION & DIVISION. • ASSOCIATIVE PROPERTY • RATIONAL NUMBERS ARE ASSOCIATIVE WITH ADDITION & MULTIPLICATION. • THEY ARE NOT ASSOCIATIVE UNDER SUBTRACTION & DIVISION
THE ROLE OF ZERO ZERO IS CALLED THE IDENTITY FOR THE ADDITION OF RATIONAL NUMBERS. IT IS THE ADDITIVE IDENTITY FOR INTEGERS AND FOR WHOLE NUMBERS AS WELL. EXAMPLE: -5/7+0= - 5/7 THE ROLE OF ONE ONE IS THE MULTIPLICATIVE IDENTITY FOR RATIONAL NUMBERS. EXAMPLE : -3/5 X 1 = - 3/5 ADDITIVE INVERSE -a/b is the additive inverse of a/b & a/b is the additive inverse of - a/b . a/b + (- a/b ) = 0 Reciprocal Reciprocal of a/b is 1/a/b =b/a
A ( b + c )= a x b + a x c A ( b - c )= a x b - a x c Distributivity of multiplication over addition and subtraction . FOR ALL RATIONAL NUMBERS A,B & C : Representation of rational no. s on the number line. Represent 1/5 & 3/5 on the number line. Represent -5/6 & -2/6 on the number line. -6/6 -5/6 -4/6 -3/6 -2/6 -1/6 0 0 1/5 2/5 3/5 4/5 5/5 6/5
Some points to remember Zero has no reciprocal . The numbers 1 & -1 are there own reciprocal. The product of two rational numbers is always a rational number. The reciprocal of a positive rational number is always positive. The rational number 0 is the additive identity for rational numbers. The rational number 1 is the multiplicative identity for rational numbers . Between two rational numbers there are countless rational numbers. The idea of mean helps us to find rational numbers between two rational numbers.
