Math 0300 Introduction To Real Numbers Numbers are placed in sets that is a collection of elements. Those Elements can be: 1. Positive Numbers (Natural Number) 2. Zero 3. Negative Numbers. 4. The Natural numbers can be: a. a Prime number, when it the number is greater than 1 and it is divisible evenly by itself and 1 b. a Composite number: when the number is not prime, or on another words a number that is multiple of primes. 5. Whole Numbers: Are comprised of the natural numbers and zero. 6. Integers: Are comprised of the whole numbers and the negative numbers. 7. Rational Numbers: Numbers that include fractions and decimal numbers. 8. Irrational Number: Numbers that have decimal representation that neither terminates nor repeats. 9. Real number: Irrational number + Rational number.

This type of number line is known as the real number line. -5 -5 − -2.34 -4 -3 -2 -1 1 2 π 5 3 0 1 2 3 17 4 5 In the example above only -5 , -2.34, -1/2, 5/3, π and 17 have been graphed. To include the values in between two values on the line an area would need to be shaded. 2 3 4 5 6 In the example above all of the values between 3 and 5, including 3 and 5 have been graphed as part of a solution. To not include the endpoints of 3 and five, the dots would not have been shaded. Student Learning Assistance Center - San Antonio College 2
