There are many different types of real numbers. To understand better the set of real numbers, we will study some of the subsets of numbers that make up this set. The Rational Numbers Graphing on the Number Line The Irrational Numbers The Rational Numbers We have already discussed the set of counting or natural numbers. The set of natural numbers together with the number 0 is called the set of whole numbers. The whole numbers together with the negatives of the counting numbers form the set of

The number 0 could represent a debt of $0, a temperature of 0 below zero, or an altitude of 0 feet below sea level. calculator close-up Display a fraction on a graphing calculator, then press ENTER to convert to a decimal. The fraction feature converts a repeating decimal into a fraction. Try this with your calculator. integers. We use the letters N, W, and J to name these sets: N, 2, 3,... The natural numbers W 0,, 2, 3,... The whole numbers J..., 3, 2,, 0,, 2, 3,... The integers Rational numbers are numbers that are written as ratios or as quotients of integers. We use the letter Q (for quotient) to name the set of rational numbers and write the set in set-builder notation as follows: a Q a and b are integers, with b 0 The rational numbers b Examples of rational numbers are ,,, 0,,,, and Note that the rational numbers are the numbers that can be expressed as a ratio (or quotient) of integers. The integer 7 is rational because we can write it as 7. Another way to describe rational numbers is by using their decimal form. To obtain the decimal form, we divide the denominator into the numerator. For some rational numbers the division terminates, and for others it continues indefinitely. The following examples show some rational numbers and their equivalent decimal forms: Terminating decimal 00.0 Terminating decimal Terminating decimal The single digit 6 repeats. The pair of digits 25 repeats. The pair of digits 9 repeats. Rational numbers are defined as ratios of integers, but they can be described also by their decimal form. The rational numbers are those decimal numbers whose digits either repeat or terminate. E X A M P L E Subsets of the rational numbers Determine whether each statement is true or false. a) 0 W b) N J c) 0.75 J d) J Q a) True, because 0 is a whole number. b) True, because every natural number is also a member of the set of integers. c) False, because the rational number 0.75 is not an integer. d) True, because the rational numbers include the integers.
3 .2 The Real Numbers (-9) 9 calculator close-up These Calculator Close-ups are designed to help reinforce the concepts of algebra, not replace them. Do not rely too heavily on your calculator or use it to replace the algebraic methods taught in this course. Graphing on the Number Line To construct a number line, we draw a straight line and label any convenient point with the number 0. Now we choose any convenient length and use it to locate points to the right of 0 as points corresponding to the positive integers and points to the left of 0 as points corresponding to the negative integers. See Fig... The numbers corresponding to the points on the line are called the coordinates of the points. The distance between two consecutive integers is called a unit, and it is the same for any two consecutive integers. The point with coordinate 0 is called the origin. The numbers on the number line increase in size from left to right. When we compare the size of any two numbers, the larger number lies to the right of the smaller one on the number line. unit Origin unit FIGURE. It is often convenient to illustrate sets of numbers on a number line. The set of integers, J, is illustrated or graphed as in Fig..5. The three dots to the right and left on the number line indicate that the integers go on indefinitely in both directions FIGURE.5 E X A M P L E 2 study tip Take notes in class. Write down everything you can. As soon as possible after class, rewrite your notes. Fill in details and make corrections. Make a note of examples and exercises in the text that are similar to examples in your notes. If your instructor takes the time to work an example in class, it is a good bet that your instructor expects you to understand the concepts involved. Graphing on the number line List the elements of each set and graph each set on a number line. a) x x is a whole number less than b) a a is an integer between 3 and 9 c) y y is an integer greater than 3 a) The whole numbers less than are 0,, 2, and 3. Figure.6 shows the graph of this set FIGURE.6 b) The integers between 3 and 9 are, 5, 6, 7, and 8. The graph is shown in Fig FIGURE.7 c) The integers greater than 3 are 2,, 0,, and so on. To indicate the continuing pattern, we use a series of dots on the graph in Fig FIGURE.8
4 0 (-0) Chapter The Real Numbers When we draw a number line, we might label only the integers. But every point on the number line corresponds to a number. The set of all of these numbers is called the set of real numbers, R. It is easy to locate rational numbers on the number line. For example, the number 2 corresponds to a point halfway between 0 and, and 3 2 corresponds to a point halfway between and 2, as shown in Fig..9. However, on the number line, there are points such as 2 that do not correspond to rational numbers. These points correspond to the set of irrational numbers, I. The rational numbers Q and the irrational numbers I have no numbers in common, and together they form the set of real numbers R calculator close-up A calculator gives a 0-digit rational approximation for 2. Note that if the approximate value is squared, you do not get 2. The screen shot that appears on this page and in succeeding pages may differ from the display on your calculator. You may have to consult your manual to get the desired results. π = Circumference Diameter Circumference Diameter π = FIGURE.0 C D The Irrational Numbers FIGURE.9 Irrational numbers are those real numbers that cannot be expressed as a ratio of integers. To see an example of an irrational number, consider the positive square root of 2 (in symbols 2 ). The square root of 2 is a number that you can multiply by itself to get 2. So we can write (using a raised dot for times) If we look for 2 on a calculator or in Appendix B, we find.. But if we multiply. by itself, we get (.)(.) So 2 is not equal to. (in symbols, 2.). The square root of 2 is approximately. (in symbols, 2.). There is no terminating or repeating decimal that will give exactly 2 when multiplied by itself. So 2 is an irrational number. It can be shown that other square roots such as 3, 5, and 7 are also irrational numbers. It is easy to write examples of irrational numbers in decimal form because as decimal numbers they have digits that neither repeat nor terminate. Each of the following numbers has a continuing pattern that guarantees that its digits will neither repeat nor terminate: So each of these numbers is an irrational number. Since we generally work with rational numbers, the irrational numbers may seem to be unnecessary. However, irrational numbers occur in some very real situations. Over 2000 years ago people in the Orient and Egypt observed that the ratio of the circumference and diameter is the same for any circle. This constant value was proven to be an irrational number by Johann Heinrich Lambert in 767. Like other irrational numbers, it does not have any convenient representation as a decimal number. This number has been given the name (Greek letter pi). See Fig..0. The value of rounded to nine decimal places is When using in computations, we frequently use the rational number 3. as an approximate value for. Figure. illustrates the subsets of the real numbers that we have been discussing.

In this section we will extend the basic operations of arithmetic to the negative numbers. Absolute Value The real numbers are the coordinates of the points on the number line. However, we often refer to the points as numbers. For example, the numbers 5 and 5 are both five units away from 0 on the number line shown in Fig..2. A number s distance from 0 on the number line is called the absolute value of the number. We write a for the absolute value of a. Therefore 5 5 and units 5 units FIGURE.2 E X A M P L E Absolute value Find the value of,, and 0. Because both and are four units from 0 on the number line, we have and. Because the distance from 0 to 0 on the number line is 0, we have 0 0.
