P.1 Real Numbers
Be prepared to take notes when the bell rings.
Real Numbers Set of numbers formed by joining the set of
rational numbers and the set of irrational numbers
Subsets: (all members of the subset are also included in the set) {1, 2, 3, 4, …} natural numbers {0, 1, 2, 3, …} whole numbers {…-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, …} integers
Rational and Irrational Numbers
Rational Number Irrational Number
A real number that can be written as the ratio of two integers, where q
Example:
Repeats = 0.125

Coordinate: • Every point on the real number line corresponds to exactly
one real number called its coordinate

(𝑎 ,𝑏 ]
Interval TypeClosed
Open
Inequality
𝑎≤𝑥 ≤𝑏𝑎<𝑥<𝑏𝑎≤𝑥<𝑏𝑎<𝑥≤𝑏

Properties of Absolute Value
Absolute value is used to define the distance (magnitude) between two points on the real number line Let a and b be real numbers. The distance
between a and b is:
The distance between -3 and 4 is:
Algebraic Expressions Variables:
letter that represents an unknown quantity
Constant: Real number term in an
algebraic expression Algebraic Expression:
Combination of variables and real numbers (constants) combined using the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
Examples of algebraic expressions:
Terms: Parts of an algebraic
expression separated by addition
i.e.
Coefficient: Numerical factor of a
variable term Evaluate:
Substitute numerical values for each variable to solve an algebraic expression
Examples of Evaluation
Expression
−3 𝑥+53 𝑥2+2𝑥−1
Value of Variable
𝑥=3𝑥=−1
Substitute
−3 (3)+5
3 (−1)2+2(−1)−1
Value of Expressi
on
−9+5=−4
3−2−1=0Used Substitution Principle: If a=b, then a can be replaced by b in any expression involving a.
Basic Rules of Algebra 4 Arithmetic operations:
Addition, + Subtraction, - Division, / Multiplication,
Addition and Multiplication are the primary operations. Subtraction is the inverse of Addition and Division is the inverse of Multiplication.
Basic Rules of Algebra
Subtraction: add the opposite of b
Division: multiply by the reciprocal of b; if b0, then
is called the additive inverse (opposite of a real number)
is called the multiplicative inverse (reciprocal of a real number)
Let a, b and c be real numbers, variables or algebraic expressions.
