Types of Real Numbers
![Page 5: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Introduction
Let’s review the types
of numbers that make up
the real number system.
![Page 6: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Natural Numbers
We start with the natural
numbers:
1, 2, 3, 4, …
![Page 7: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The integers consist of the natural
numbers together with their negatives
and 0:
. . . , –3, –2, –1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, . . .
Integers
![Page 8: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Rational Numbers
We construct the rational numbers
by taking ratios of integers.
• Thus, any rational number r can be expressed as:
where m and n are integers and n ≠ 0.
m
rn
![Page 9: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Rational Numbers
Examples are:
• Recall that division by 0 is always ruled out.
• So, expressions like 3/0 and 0/0 are undefined.
3 461 172 7 1 10046 0.17
![Page 10: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Irrational Numbers
There are also real numbers, such as ,
that can’t be expressed as a ratio of integers.
Hence, they are called irrational numbers.
• It can be shown, with varying degrees of difficulty, that these numbers are also irrational:

Set of All Real Numbers
The set of all real numbers is
usually denoted by:
• The symbol
![Page 12: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Real Numbers
When we use the word ‘number’
without qualification, we will mean:
• “Real number”
![Page 13: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Real Numbers
Figure 1 is a diagram of the types
of real numbers that we work with
in this book.
![Page 14: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Repeating Decimals
Every real number has a decimal
representation.
If the number is rational, then its
corresponding decimal is repeating.
![Page 15: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Repeating Decimals
For example,
• The bar indicates that the sequence of digits repeats forever.
12
23
157495
97
0.5000... 0.50
0.66666... 0.6
0.3171717... 0.317
1.285714285714... 1.285714
![Page 16: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Non-Repeating Decimals
If the number is irrational, the decimal
representation is non-repeating:
2 1.414213562373095...
3.141592653589793...
![Page 17: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Approximation
If we stop the decimal expansion of
any number at a certain place, we get
an approximation to the number.
• For instance, we can write π ≈ 3.14159265
where the symbol ≈ is read “is approximately equal to.”
• The more decimal places we retain, the better our approximation.
![Page 18: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
E.g. 1—Classifying Real Numbers
Determine whether
a) 999 d)
b) –6/5 e)
c) –6/3
is a natural number, an integer, a rational
number, or an irrational number.

E.g. 1—Classifying Real Numbers
a) 999 is a positive whole number, so it is a
natural number.
b) –6/5 is a ratio of two integers, so it is a
rational number.
c) –6/3 equals –2, so it is an integer.
![Page 20: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
E.g. 1—Classifying Real Numbers
d) equals 5, so it is a natural number.
e) is a nonrepeating decimal
(approximately 1.7320508075689),
so it is an irrational number.

Operations on Real Numbers
![Page 22: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Operations on Real Numbers
Real numbers can be combined using the
familiar operations:
• Addition
• Subtraction
• Multiplication
• Division
![Page 23: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Order of Operations on Real Numbers
When evaluating arithmetic expressions that
contain several of these operations, we use
the following convention to determine the
order in which operations are performed:
![Page 24: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Order of Operations on Real Numbers
1. Perform operations inside parenthesis
first, beginning with the innermost pair.• In dividing two expressions, the numerator and
denominator of the quotient are treated as if they are within parentheses.
2. Perform all multiplication and division• Working from left to right
3. Perform all addition and subtraction• Working from left to right
![Page 25: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

E.g. 2—Evaluating an Arithmetic Expression
First we evaluate the numerator and
denominator of the quotient.• Recall, these are treated as if they are inside
parentheses.

Properties of Real Numbers
![Page 28: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Introduction
We all know that: 2 + 3 = 3 + 2
5 + 7 = 7 + 5
513 + 87 = 87 + 513
and so on.
• In algebra, we express all these (infinitely many) facts by writing:
a + b = b + a where a and b stand for any two numbers.
![Page 29: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Commutative Property
In other words, “a + b = b + a” is a concise
way of saying that:
“when we add two numbers, the order
of addition doesn’t matter.”
• This is called the Commutative Property for Addition.
![Page 30: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Properties of Real Numbers
From our experience with numbers, we
know that these properties are also valid.
![Page 31: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Distributive Property
The Distributive Property
applies:
• Whenever we multiply a number by a sum.
![Page 32: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Distributive Property
Figure 2 explains why this property works
for the case in which all the numbers are
positive integers.
• However, it is true for any real numbers a, b, and c.
![Page 33: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
E.g. 3—Using the Properties
2 + (3 + 7)
= 2 + (7 + 3) (Commutative Property of Addition)
= (2 + 7) + 3 (Associative Property of Addition)
Example (a)
![Page 34: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
E.g. 3—Using the Properties
2(x + 3)
= 2 . x + 2 . 3 (Distributive Property)
= 2x + 6 (Simplify)
Example (b)
![Page 35: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
E.g. 3—Using the Properties
(a + b)(x + y)
= (a + b)x + (a + b)y (Distributive Property)
= (ax + bx) + (ay + by) (Distributive Property)
= ax + bx + ay + by (Associative Property
of Addition)
• In the last step, we removed the parentheses.• According to the Associative Property, the order
of addition doesn’t matter.
Example (c)
![Page 36: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Addition and Subtraction
![Page 37: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Additive Identity
The number 0 is special for addition.
It is called the additive identity.
• This is because a + 0 = a for a real number a.
![Page 38: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Subtraction
Every real number a has a negative, –a,
that satisfies a + (–a) = 0.
Subtraction undoes addition.
• To subtract a number from another, we simply add the negative of that number.
• By definition, a – b = a + (–b)
![Page 39: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Note on “–a”
Don’t assume that –a is a negative number.• Whether –a is a negative or positive number
depends on the value of a.
• For example, if a = 5, then –a = –5.– A negative number
• However, if a = –5, then –a = –(–5) = 5.– A positive number
![Page 40: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Properties of Negatives
To combine real numbers involving
negatives, we use these properties.
![Page 41: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Property 5 & 6 of Negatives
Property 5 is often used with more than
two terms:• –(a + b + c) = –a – b – c
Property 6 states the intuitive fact
that: • a – b and b – a are negatives of each other.
![Page 42: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
E.g. 4—Using Properties of Negatives
Let x, y, and z be real numbers.
a) –(3 + 2) = –3 – 2 (Property 5: –(a + b) = –a – b)
b) –(x + 2) = –x – 2 (Property 5: –(a + b) = –a – b)
c) –(x + y – z) = –x – y – (–z) (Property 5)
= –x – y + z (Property 2:
–(– a) = a)
![Page 43: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Multiplication and Division
![Page 44: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Multiplicative Identity
The number 1 is special for multiplication.
It is called the multiplicative identity.
• This is because a . 1 = a for any real number a.
![Page 45: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Division
Every nonzero real number a has an inverse,
1/a, that satisfies a . (1/a).
Division undoes multiplication.• To divide by a number, we multiply by
the inverse of that number.
• If b ≠ 0, then, by definition, a ÷ b = a . 1/b
• We write a . (1/b) as simply a/b.
![Page 46: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Division
We refer to a/b as:
The quotient of a and b or as
the fraction a over b.
• a is the numerator. • b is the denominator (or divisor).
![Page 47: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Division
To combine real numbers using division,
we use these properties.
![Page 48: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Property 3 & 4
When adding fractions with different
denominators, we don’t usually use
Property 4.
• Instead, we rewrite the fractions so that they have the smallest common denominator (often smaller than the product of the denominators).
• Then, we use Property 3.
![Page 49: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
LCD
This denominator is the Least
Common Denominator (LCD).
• It is described in the next example.
![Page 50: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
E.g. 5—Using LCD to Add Fractions
Evaluate:
• Factoring each denominator into prime factors gives:
36 = 22 . 32
120 = 23 . 3 . 5
5 7
36 120
![Page 51: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
E.g. 5—Using LCD to Add Fractions
We find the LCD by forming the product of all
the factors that occur in these factorizations,
using the highest power of each factor.
• Thus, the LCD is:
23 . 32 . 5 = 360
![Page 52: College Algebra Fifth Edition James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem Watson](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070401/5681368e550346895d9e1886/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
E.g. 3—Using LCD to Add Fractions
So, we have:
(Use common denominator)

with the same denominator)
