1.1 The Set of Real Numbers and the Number Line
• Real Numbers:
• Every real number corresponds to a point on the number line.

1.1 The Rectangular Coordinate System
• The number corresponding to a particular point on the number line is called the coordinate of the point.
• This correspondence is called a coordinate system.

1.1 Application: Estimating Tuition and Fees
• In 1998, average tuition and fees at public universities and colleges were $3293, whereas they were $5132 in 2004. Use the midpoint formula to estimate tuition and fees in 2001. Compare it to the actual value of $4221.
Notice that 2001 lies midway between 1998 and 2004. Therefore we can use the midpoint formula.
1998 2004 3293 5132, (2001,4212.50)2 2
The midpoint formula estimates tuition and fees at public colleges and universities to be $4212.50 in 2001. This is within $10 of the actual value.
