1. Applied Geometry Lesson 2 – 1 Real Numbers and Number Lines Objective: Learn to find the distance between two points on a number line.

2. Number sets Natural Numbers Whole Numbers Integers Also called counting numbers. {1, 2, 3, 4, …} Includes 0 and the natural numbers. {0, 1, 2, 3, 4,…} Includes 0, negative #s, and positive #s {…-4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4…}

3. Number sets … Rational numbers: Any number that can be written as a fraction Decimals: Terminating: Nonterminating: A decimal with a finite number of digits. A decimal that stops. An infinite number of digits either with a repeating pattern or not repeating. Rational numbers

4. Number sets Irrational Numbers: a number that is nonterminating and nonrepeating. Examples? 0.1234567… 0.17117111711117… pattern but not a repeating pattern. 3.141592…

5. Postulate 2-1 Number Line Postulate: Each real number corresponds to exactly one point on a number line. Each point on a number line corresponds to exactly one real number.

6. Examples For each situation, write a real number with 10 digits to the right of the decimal point. A rational number less than 10 with a 3-digit repeating pattern An irrational number between – 4 and -2 Sample: 5.1231231231… Sample: -3.1211211121… *Make sure you include the ‘…’ to show that it is nonterminating. Make sure you have 10 digits on the right.

7. Examples A rational number greater than – 10 with a 2 digit repeating pattern. An irrational number between 1 and 2. Sample: 2.4545454545… Sample: 1.8988988898…

8. Number lines Coordinate: the number that corresponds to a point on a number line. Origin: 0 on a number line

9. Postulate 2-2 Distance Postulate: For any 2 points on a line and a given unit of measure, there is a unique positive real number called the measure of the distance between the points.

10. Postulate 2-3 Ruler Postulate: Points on a line are paired with the real numbers, and the measure of the distance between the 2 points is the positive difference of the corresponding numbers.

11. Absolute Value Absolute value: the number of units a number is from zero on a number line.
