Overview

The Number System chapter introduces students to different types of numbers and their properties. This chapter builds upon your understanding of natural numbers, whole numbers, and integers to explore rational and irrational numbers. You will learn how to represent these numbers on the number line,

Key Concepts

Natural numbers (1

Natural numbers (1, 2, 3, ...), Whole numbers (0, 1, 2, 3, ...), Integers (..., -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, ...), Rational numbers (numbers that can be expressed

Every integer is a rational number

Every integer is a rational number (can be written as m/1). Rational numbers have either terminating decimal expansions (like 3/4 = 0.75) or non-termi

Numbers like √2

Numbers like √2, √3, π that cannot be expressed as p/q form. They have non-terminating non-recurring decimal expansions. Example: √2 = 1.41421356... (

Using Pythagoras theorem and compass construction

Using Pythagoras theorem and compass construction, we can locate irrational numbers like √2, √3 on the number line. For √2, construct a right triangle

Terminating decimals (finite digits after decimal

Terminating decimals (finite digits after decimal point), Non-terminating recurring decimals (infinite digits with repeating pattern), Non-terminating
