Real Numbers Exploring, Adding, Subtracting, Multiplying, and Dividing
Each of the graphs below shows a set of numbers on a number line. The number below a point is its coordinate on the number line. • As you can see, the set of integers has negative numbers as well as zero and positive numbers. There are also numbers that are not integers, such as 0.37 or , which are rational numbers
A rational number is any number that you can write in the form of , where a and b are integers and b ≠ 0. A rational number in decimal form is either terminating, such as 6.27, or repeating, such as 8.222…, which you can write as 8. • All integers are rational numbers because you can write any integer n as .
Examples • Name the set(s) of numbers to which each number below belongs: • rational numbers • 23 natural #s, whole #s, integers, rational #s • 0 whole #s, integers, rational #s • 4.581 rational numbers • Your turn: • -12 • 5/12 • -4.67 • 6
I • An irrational number cannot be expressed in the form , where a and b are integers. Here are three irrational numbers. • Together, rational numbers and irrational numbers form the set of real numbers.
The Venn Diagram below shows the relationships of the sets of numbers that make up real numbers.
Inequality • An inequality is a mathematical sentence that compares the value of two expressions using an inequality symbol, such as < or >.
The number line below shows how values of numbers increase as you go to the right on a number line. • To compare fractions, you may find it helpful to write the fractions as decimals and then compare the decimals.
Two numbers that are the same distance from zero on a number line but lie in opposite directions are opposites.
The absolute value of a number is its distance from 0 on a number line. Both -3 and 3 are 3 units from zero. Both have an absolute value of 3. You write “the absolute value of -3” as |-3|.
Adding Real #s • Identity Property of Addition • For every rational number n, n + 0 = n and 0 + n = n. • Examples: -5 + 0 = -5 and 0 + 5 = 5 • The opposite of a number is its additive inverse. The number line shows the sum of 4 + (-4).
The additive inverse of a negative number is a positive number. The number line below shows the sum of -5 and 5. • Inverse Property of Addition • For every real number n, there is an additive inverse –n such that n + (-n) = 0. • Examples: 17 + (-17) = 0 and -17 + 17 = 0
Matrices • You can use matrices to add real numbers. A matrix is a rectangular arrangement of numbers in rows and columns. The plural of matrix is matrices. The matrix below shows the data in the table. • You identify the size of a matrix by the number of columns. The matrix above has 3 rows and 2 columns, so it is a matrix. Each item in a matrix is an element.
Matrices are equal if the elements in corresponding positions are equal. • You add matrices are the same size by adding the corresponding elements.
Subtracting Numbers • To subtract a number, add its opposite.
Multiplication Properties • Identity Property of Multiplication • For every real number n, and • Multiplication Property of Zero • For every real number n, and • Multiplication Property of -1 • For every real number n, and
Multiplying Numbers with the Same Sign • The product of two positive numbers or two negative numbers is positive. • Multiplying Numbers with Different Signs • The product of a positive number and a negative number, or a negative number and a positive number, is negative.
Division Properties • Dividing Numbers with the Same Sign • The quotient of two positive numbers or two negative numbers is positive. • Dividing Numbers with Different Signs • The quotient of a positive number and a negative number, or a negative number and a positive number, is negative.
Dividing Numbers • Simplify each expression. • Your turn!
Inverse Property of Multiplication • For every nonzero real number a, there is a multiplicative inverse such that . • The multiplicative inverse, or reciprocal, of a nonzero rational number is . Zero does not have a reciprocal. Division by zero is undefined.
Practicing Identity and No Solution • Determine whether each equation is an identity or whether it has no solution.
Group Work Time! • Together at your table, figure out what the value of each variable is in both matrices below.
Let’s go over your homework! • We will be looking at the homework you turned in on Monday of this week! • If you have not turned it in yet, now is the time to do so! • Make sure that you work on MATH homework AT HOME or in time allotted in class—NOT in Mr. Suralik’s English class!!!!! (Yep—He saw you do it!) • I will pass your homework back out tomorrow (still going through them!) • Write down the answers on a sheet of paper (if you wish) so that you will know the correct answers to any you missed. • Today we will go over any questions you have!
