2. Objective TSW identify the parts of the Real Number System
TSW define rational and irrational numbers
TSW classify numbers as rational or irrational

3. Real Numbers Real Numbers are every number.
Therefore, any number that you can find on the number line.
Real Numbers have two categories.

4. What does it Mean? The number line goes on forever.
Every point on the line is a REAL number.
There are no gaps on the number line.
Between the whole numbers and the fractions there are numbers that are decimals but they don’t terminate and are not recurring decimals. They go on forever.

6. Two Kinds of Real Numbers
Rational Numbers

7. Rational Numbers
A rational number is a real number that can be written as a fraction.
A rational number written in decimal form is terminating or repeating.

8. Examples of Rational Numbers16
1/2
3.56 -8
1.3333…
- 3/4

Integers
One of the subsets of rational numbers

10. What are integers? Integers are the whole numbers and their opposites.
Examples of integers are 6
-12
186
-934

11. Integers are rational numbers because they can be written as fraction with 1 as the denominator.

12. Types of Integers
Natural Numbers(N): Natural Numbers are counting numbers from 1,2,3,4,5, N = {1,2,3,4,5, }
Whole Numbers (W): Whole numbers are natural numbers including zero. They are 0,1,2,3,4,5, W = {0,1,2,3,4,5, } W = 0 + N

14. Irrational Numbers
An irrational number is a number that cannot be written as a fraction of two integers.
Irrational numbers written as decimals are non-terminating and non-repeating.

15. Irrational numbers can be written only as decimals that do not terminate or repeat. They cannot be written as the quotient of two integers. If a whole number is not a perfect square, then its square root is an irrational number.
A repeating decimal may not appear to repeat on a calculator, because calculators show a finite number of digits.
Caution!

16. Examples of Irrational NumbersPi

17. Try this! a) Irrational b) Irrational c) Rational d) Rational
e) Irrational

18. Additional Example 1: Classifying Real Numbers
Write all classifications that apply to each number. A. 5
5 is a whole number that is not a perfect square.
irrational, real B.
–12.75
–12.75 is a terminating decimal.
rational, real
16 2
= = 2
4 2
16 2 C.
whole, integer, rational, real

19. A fraction with a denominator of 0 is undefined because you cannot divide by zero. So it is not a number at all.

20. Additional Example 2: Determining the Classification of All Numbers
State if each number is rational, irrational, or not a real number. A. 21
irrational
0 3
0 3
= 0 B.
rational

21. Additional Example 2: Determining the Classification of All Numbers
State if each number is rational, irrational, or not a real number.
4 0 C.
not a real number

22. Objective TSW compare rational and irrational numbers
TSW order rational and irrational numbers on a number line

23. Comparing Rational and Irrational Numbers
When comparing different forms of rational and irrational numbers, convert the numbers to the same form.
Compare and
(convert -3 to …
… > 3 7 3 7

24. Practice

25. Ordering Rational and Irrational Numbers
To order rational and irrational numbers, convert all of the numbers to the same form.
You can also find the approximate locations of rational and irrational numbers on a number line.

26. Example Order these numbers from least to greatest.
¹/₄, 75%, .04, 10%, ⁹/₇
¹/₄ becomes 0.25
75% becomes 0.75
0.04 stays 0.04
10% becomes 0.10
⁹/₇ becomes …
Answer: , 10%, ¹/₄, 75%, ⁹/₇

27. Practice
Order these from least to greatest:
