Classify the given numbers.


Natural: 1, 2, 3, 4, … also will be whole, integer, rational and

real Whole: 0, 1, 2, 3, …

also will be integer, rational and real Integer: … , -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, …

also will be rational and real Rational: can be written as a fraction – decimals

with repeating or terminating decimals Irrational: decimals with no repeating patterns

and they go forever Real: all the above numbers are real numbers – so far everything you know is a real number!

Name the properties of Real numbers.


Associative: something new inside the parentheses – add and multiply

Commutative: something has moved its location – add and multiply

Distributive: multiply on the outside, adding in the inside

Identities: “it” will not change – add by zero OR multiply by 1

Inverses: will make “it” go away – add the opposite OR multiply by the reciprocal



Multiplication Property of ZERO: if you multiply BY zero you get zero!

Multiplication Property of ZERO: a (0) = 0 Closure: you get an answer! a + b = c Trichotomy Property: 1 of 3 things must

be true a < b or a = b or a > b Transitive Property: if a < b and b < c

then a < c


4 • 0 = 0


4 • 0 = 0

The Zero Product Property

Solve each equation for x.


Step 1. identify the variable you are solving for and clear parentheses

Step 2. clear fractions (multiply by the LCM) and/or clear decimals (multiply by 10s)

Step 3. get just 1 variable Step 4. get the variable alone, furthest first –

according to the reverse Order of Operations


5[2 – (2x – 4)] = 2(5 – 3x)


5[2 – (2x – 4)] = 2(5 – 3x)

5[2 – 2x + 4] = 2(5 – 3x)

5[– 2x + 6] = 2(5 – 3x)

-10x + 30 = 10 – 6x

-4x + 30 = 10

-4x = -20

Graph the following Inequalities

Graph the following Inequalities

Greater than and Less than – open circle Greater than or equal to and Less than or

equal to – closed circle If x comes first – go the same way as the

inequality Space numbers evenly on the number

Solve Inequalities for x, and graph your solution.

Solve Inequalities for x, and graph your solution.

IF you multiply (or divide) by a negative, the inequality will change direction.

Follow the rules for graphing inequalities.

Solve for the indicated variable.

Solve for the indicated variable. Step 1. identify the variable you are solving

for and clear parentheses Step 2. clear fractions (multiply by the LCM)

and/or clear decimals (multiply by 10s) Step 3. get just 1 variable, factor if needed Step 4. get the variable alone, furthest first –

according to the reverse order of operations


W = ab + ah; solve for a


W = ab + ah; solve for a

Too many a’s – factor!

W = a (b + h)

W = a(b + h) (b + h) (b + h)

W= a

Clear outside exponents first,

move the “location” of the base that has a negative exponent

the base still has an exponent, but now it is positive.
