Real number system full

CHAPTER 2 :Real Number System

The real number system evolved over time by expanding the notion of what we mean by the word “number.” At first, “number” meant something you could count, like how many sheep a farmer owns. These are called the natural numbers, or sometimes the counting numbers.

2.1 Real Number �� Counting Number / Natural Number

N = { 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , … }

• The use of three dots at the end of the list is a common mathematical notation to indicate that the list keeps going forever.

�� Whole Numbers

• Natural Numbers together with “zero” W = { }0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , ...

�� Integer Number (I)

• Whole numbers plus negatives

{ }I ..., 3 , 2 , 1 , 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 ,...= − − − { }I 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 ,...= ± ± ±

�� Rational Number (Q)

aQ = x x = ; a I , b I and b 0

b ∈ ∈ ≠

• All numbers of the form a

b , where a and b are integers (but b cannot be zero)

• Rational numbers include what we usually call fractions

C h a p t e r 2 : R e a l N u m b e r S y s t e m P a g e | 2

• Notice that the word “rational” contains the word “ratio,” which should remind you of fractions.

• The bottom of the fraction is called the denominator. Think of it as the denomination—it tells you what size fraction we are talking about: fourths, fifths, etc.

• The top of the fraction is called the numerator. It tells you how many fourths, fifths, or whatever.

• RESTRICTION: The denominator cannot be zero! (But the numerator can)

• Fractions can be numbers smaller than 1, like 1/2 or 3/4 (called proper fractions : In the numerator is smaller than the denominator)

• Fractions can be numbers bigger than 1, like one-and-a-quarter, which we could also write as 5/4 (called improper fractions : the numerator is bigger than the denominator)

• One way of expressing the improper fraction 5/4 is as the mixed number 11

4,

which is read as “one and one-fourth.”

• The step for write Mixed Number to Improper Fraction ; 1. Multiply the integer part with the bottom of the fraction part. 2. Add the result to the top of the fraction.

• The step for write Improper Fraction to Mixed Number 1. Do the division to get the integer part 2. Put the remainder over the old denominator to get the fractional part

•••• Equivalent Fractions Equivalent fractions are fractions that have the same value, for example

1 2 3 4

2 4 6 8= = = etc.

• All integers can also be thought of as rational numbers, with a denominator of 1:

for example 33

1= , 5

51

−− =

• This means that all the previous sets of numbers (natural numbers, whole numbers, and integers) are subsets of the rational numbers.

Now it might seem as though the set of rational numbers would cover every possible case, but that is not so. There are numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction, and these numbers are called irrational because they are not rational.

• Integer 2 , 5, 0 , 3 , 7− −

• Fraction 2 11 ,

3 17


• Periodic Decimal 0.2 , 0.3 , 0.47&

�� Irrational Number (Q′ )

• Cannot be expressed as a ratio of integers.

• As decimals they never repeat or terminate (rationals always do one or the other)

Examples:

Rational (terminates)

2 = 0.66666

3& Rational (repeats)

5 = 0.45454545

11& & Rational (repeats)

5 = 0.714285714285

7& & Rational (repeats)

Irrational (never repeats or terminates)

Irrational (never repeats or terminates)

� The Real Numbers(R)

•••• Rationals + Irrationals

•••• All points on the number line

• Or all possible distances on the number line

When we put the irrational numbers together with the rational numbers, we finally have the complete set of real numbers. Any number that represents an amount of something, such as a weight, a volume, or the distance between two points, will always be a real number. The following diagram illustrates the relationships of the sets that make up the real numbers.


� Imaginary Number a+bi ; a,b R and b 0∈ ≠ 2+3i , 4 5i− , 1 3i− , 2i Union of Real Number and Imaginary Number called Complex Number.

Properties for real number system � 1) Reflexive Property ;

• If a R∈ then a = a

• Example ; 3 = 3 , 2 = 2π π , 2x = 2x , 1+2x = 1+2x etc. � 2) Symetric Property ;

• If a = b then b = a

• Example ; If 5 2x= then 2x = 5 If 12 4 3x= − then 4 3x = 12− If 5 2 + 3= then 2 + 3 = 5 etc.

� 3) Transitive Property ;

• If a = b and b = c then a = c

• Example ; If 2x + 1 = 10 + 12 and 10 + 12 = 22 then 2x + 1 = 22 If 2x 5 = x + 1− and x + 1 = 7 then 2x 1 = 7− etc.

� 4) Addition by the equal number ;

• If a = b then a + c = b + c

• Example ; If a = 5 then a + 3 = 5 + 3 If ( ) ( ) ( )2x + 5 = 10 then 2x + 5 + 5 = 10 + 5− − etc.


� 5) Multiplication by the equal number ;

• If a = b then ac = bc

• Example ; If a = 3 then a 2 = 3 2× × If ( ) ( )2x = 8 then 3 2x = 3 8 etc.

� 6) If a + c = b + c then a = b � 7) If ac = bc and c 0≠ then a = b

Addition Property for real number system � 1) Closure Property

• If R a∈ , R b∈ then R b a ∈+ � 2) Commutative Property

• If R a∈ , R b∈ then a b b a +=+ � 3) Associative Property

• If R c and R b , R a ∈∈∈ then ( ) ( )c b a cb a ++=++

• Example ; 1. consider ( )532 ++ and ( ) 532 ++ Hence ( ) 1082532 =+=++ and ( ) 1055532 =+=++ so ( )532 ++ = ( ) 532 ++ etc.

� 4) Identity (0)

• There is R0∈ for all R a∈ such that a 0 a a 0 =+=+

• Example ; 0 + 2 = 2 + 0 = 2 20220 =+=+ etc. � 5) Inverse ( a− )

• For all R a∈ there exists Ra∈− such that ( ) ( ) 0 a a a a =+−=−+

• Example ; 1. Consider addition inverse of 2 Hence ( ) ( ) 02222 =+−=−+ so addition inverse of 2 is 2−

2. Consider addition inverse of 5− Hence ( ) ( )( ) ( )( ) ( ) 05555 =−+−−=−−+− so addition inverse of 5− is ( )5−− , and ( ) 55 =−− etc.

2.6 Absolute Value

When we want to talk about how “large” a number is without regard as to whether it is positive or negative, we use the absolute value function. The absolute value of a number is the distance from that number to the origin (zero) on the number line. That distance is always given as a non-negative number.

• If a number is positive (or zero), the absolute value function does nothing to it:

• If a number is negative, the absolute value function makes it positive:
