1-2 Study Guide and InterventionProperties of Real Numbers

Real Numbers All real numbers can be classified as either rational or irrational. The set of rational numbers includes several subsets: natural numbers, whole numbers, and integers.

R real numbers {all rationals and irrationals}

Q rational numbers {all numbers that can be represented in the form m − n , where m and n are integers and

n is not equal to 0}

I irrational numbers {all nonterminating, nonrepeating decimals}

Z integers {…, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, …}

W whole numbers {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, …}

N natural numbers {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, …}

Name the sets of numbers to which each number belongs.

Simplify 9x + 3y + 12y - 0.9x.

9x + 3y + 12y - 0.9x = 9x + (- 0.9x) + 3y + 12y Commutative Property (+)

= (9 + (- 0.9))x + (3 + 12)y Distributive Property

Real Number Properties

For any real numbers a, b, and c

Property Addition Multiplication

Commutative a + b = b + a a � b = b · a

Associative (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) (a � b) � c = a � (b � c)

Identity a + 0 = a = 0 + a a � 1 = a = 1 � a

Inverse a + (-a) = 0 = (-a) + a a � 1 − a = 1 = 1 − a · a, a ≠ 0.

Closure a + b is a real number. a � b is a real number.

Distributive a(b + c) = ab + ac and (b + c)a = ba + ca
