Ntionl Council of Techers of Mthemtics, 997. Chpter P Overview Historiclly, lger ws used to represent prolems with symols (lgeric models) nd solve them y reducing the solution to lgeric mnipultion of symols. This technique is still importnt tody. Grphing clcultors re used tody to pproch prolems y representing them with grphs (grphicl models) nd solve them with numericl nd grphicl techniques of the technology. We egin with sic properties of rel numers nd introduce solute vlue, distnce formuls, midpoint formuls, nd equtions of circles. Slope of line is used to write stndrd equtions for lines, nd pplictions involving liner equtions re discussed. Equtions nd inequlities re solved using oth lgeric nd grphicl techniques. P. Rel Numers Wht you ll lern out Representing Rel Numers Order nd Intervl Nottion Bsic Properties of Alger Integer Eponents Scientific Nottion... nd why These topics re fundmentl in the study of mthemtics nd science. Ojective Students will e le to convert etween decimls nd frctions, write inequlities, pply the sic properties of lger, nd work with eponents nd scientific nottion. Motivte Ask students how rel numers cn e clssified. Hve students discuss wys to disply very lrge or very smll numers without using lot of zeros. Representing Rel Numers A rel numer is ny numer tht cn e written s deciml. Rel numers re represented y symols such s -8, 0,.75, Á, 0.36, 8/5, 23, 23 6, e, nd p. The set of rel numers contins severl importnt susets: The nturl (or counting) numers: 5, 2, 3, Á 6 The whole numers: 50,, 2, 3, Á 6 The integers: 5 Á, -3, -2, -, 0,, 2, 3, Á 6 The rces 5 6 re used to enclose the elements, or ojects, of the set. The rtionl numers re nother importnt suset of the rel numers. A rtionl numer is ny numer tht cn e written s rtio / of two integers, where Z 0. We cn use set-uilder nottion to descrie the rtionl numers: e `, re integers, nd Z 0 f The verticl r tht follows / is red such tht. The deciml form of rtionl numer either termintes like 7/4 =.75, or is infinitely repeting like 4/ = Á= The r over the 36 indictes the lock of digits tht repets. A rel numer is irrtionl if it is not rtionl. The deciml form of n irrtionl numer is infinitely nonrepeting. For emple, 23 = Á nd p = Á. Rel numers re pproimted with clcultors y giving few of its digits. Sometimes we cn find the deciml form of rtionl numers with clcultors, ut not very often.

3 SECTION P. Rel Numers 3 /6 55/27 /7 N FIGURE P. Clcultor deciml representtions of /6, 55/27, nd /7 with the clcultor set in floting deciml mode. (Emple ) EXAMPLE Emining Deciml Forms of Rtionl Numers Determine the deciml form of /6, 55/27, nd /7. SOLUTION Figure P. suggests tht the deciml form of /6 termintes nd tht of 55/27 repets in locks of = nd = We cnnot predict the ect deciml form of /7 from Figure P.; however, we cn sy tht /7 L The symol L is red is pproimtely equl to. We cn use long division (see Eercise 66) to show tht Now try Eercise 3. 7 = The rel numers nd the points of line cn e mtched one-to-one to form rel numer line. We strt with horizontl line nd mtch the rel numer zero with point O, the origin. Positive numers re ssigned to the right of the origin, nd negtive numers to the left, s shown in Figure P.2. 3 O π Negtive rel numers Positive rel numers FIGURE P.2 The rel numer line. Every rel numer corresponds to one nd only one point on the rel numer line, nd every point on the rel numer line corresponds to one nd only one rel numer. Between every pir of rel numers on the numer line there re infinitely mny more rel numers. The numer ssocited with point is the coordinte of the point. As long s the contet is cler, we will follow the stndrd convention of using the rel numer for oth the nme of the point nd its coordinte. Order nd Intervl Nottion The set of rel numers is ordered. This mens tht we cn use inequlities to compre ny two rel numers tht re not equl nd sy tht one is less thn or greter thn the other. Unordered Systems Not ll numer systems re ordered. For emple, the comple numer system, to e introduced in Section P.6, hs no nturl ordering. Order of Rel Numers Let nd e ny two rel numers. Symol Definition Red 7 - is positive is greter thn 6 - is negtive is less thn Ú - is positive or zero is greter thn or equl to - is negtive or zero is less thn or equl to The symols 7, 6, Ú, nd re inequlity symols.

4 4 CHAPTER P Prerequisites Opposites nd Numer Line 6 0 Q If 6 0, then is to the left of 0 on the rel numer line, nd its opposite, -, is to the right of 0. Thus, Geometriclly, 7 mens tht is to the right of (equivlently is to the left of ) on the rel numer line. For emple, since 6 7 3, 6 is to the right of 3 on the rel numer line. Note lso tht 7 0 mens tht - 0, or simply, is positive nd 6 0 mens tht is negtive. We re le to compre ny two rel numers ecuse of the following importnt property of the rel numers. Trichotomy Property Let nd e ny two rel numers. Ectly one of the following is true: 6, =, or () () Inequlities cn e used to descrie intervls of rel numers, s illustrted in Emple 2. EXAMPLE 2 Interpreting Inequlities Descrie nd grph the intervl of rel numers for the inequlity. () 6 3 () SOLUTION () The inequlity 6 3 descries ll rel numers less thn 3 (Figure P.3). () The doule inequlity represents ll rel numers etween - nd 4, ecluding - nd including 4 (Figure P.3). Now try Eercise (c) (d) FIGURE P.3 In grphs of inequlities, prentheses correspond to 6 nd 7 nd rckets to nd Ú. (Emples 2 nd 3) EXAMPLE 3 Writing Inequlities Write n intervl of rel numers using n inequlity nd drw its grph. () The rel numers etween -4 nd -0.5 () The rel numers greter thn or equl to zero SOLUTION () (Figure P.3c) () Ú 0 (Figure P.3d) Now try Eercise 5. As shown in Emple 2, inequlities define intervls on the rel numer line. We often use 32, 54 to descrie the ounded intervl determined y 2 5. This intervl is closed ecuse it contins its endpoints 2 nd 5. There re four types of ounded intervls. Bounded Intervls of Rel Numers Let nd e rel numers with 6. Intervl Intervl Inequlity Nottion Type Nottion Grph 3, 4 Closed, 2 Open 3, 2 Hlf-open 6 6 6, 4 Hlf-open 6 The numers nd re the endpoints of ech intervl.

5 SECTION P. Rel Numers 5 Intervl Nottion t ˆ Becuse - q is not rel numer, we use - q, 22 insted of 3- q, 22 to descrie 6 2. Similrly, we use 3-, q2 insted of 3-, q4 to descrie Ú -. The intervl of rel numers determined y the inequlity 6 2 cn e descried y the unounded intervl - q, 22. This intervl is open ecuse it does not contin its endpoint 2. We use the intervl nottion - q, q2 to represent the entire set of rel numers. The symols - q (negtive infinity) nd q (positive infinity) llow us to use intervl nottion for unounded intervls nd re not rel numers. There re four types of unounded intervls. Unounded Intervls of Rel Numers Let nd e rel numers. Intervl Intervl Inequlity Nottion Type Nottion Grph 3, q2 Closed Ú, q2 Open 7 - q, 4 Closed - q, 2 Open 6 Ech of these intervls hs ectly one endpoint, nmely or. EXAMPLE 4 Converting Between Intervls nd Inequlities Convert intervl nottion to inequlity nottion or vice vers. Find the endpoints nd stte whether the intervl is ounded, its type, nd grph the intervl. () 3-6, 32 () - q, -2 (c) -2 3 SOLUTION () The intervl 3-6, 32 corresponds to nd is ounded nd hlf-open (see Figure P.4). The endpoints re -6 nd 3. () The intervl - q, -2 corresponds to 6 - nd is unounded nd open (see Figure P.4). The only endpoint is -. (c) The inequlity -2 3 corresponds to the closed, ounded intervl 3-2, 34 (see Figure P.4c). The endpoints re -2 nd 3. Now try Eercise 29. () () (c) FIGURE P.4 Grphs of the intervls of rel numers in Emple 4. Bsic Properties of Alger Alger involves the use of letters nd other symols to represent rel numers. A vrile is letter or symol for emple,, y, t, u2 tht represents n unspecified rel numer. A constnt is letter or symol for emple, -2, 0, 23, p2 tht represents specific rel numer. An lgeric epression is comintion of vriles nd constnts involving ddition, sutrction, multipliction, division, powers, nd roots.

6 6 CHAPTER P Prerequisites Sutrction vs. Negtive Numers On mny clcultors, there re two - keys, one for sutrction nd one for negtive numers or opposites. Be sure you know how to use oth keys correctly. Misuse cn led to incorrect results. We stte some of the properties of the rithmetic opertions of ddition, sutrction, multipliction, nd division, represented y the symols +, -, * (or # ) nd, (or /), respectively. Addition nd multipliction re the primry opertions. Sutrction nd division re defined in terms of ddition nd multipliction. Sutrction: - = + -2 Division: =, Z 0 In the ove definitions, - is the dditive inverse or opposite of, nd / is the multiplictive inverse or reciprocl of. Perhps surprisingly, dditive inverses re not lwys negtive numers. The dditive inverse of 5 is the negtive numer -5. However, the dditive inverse of -3 is the positive numer 3. The following properties hold for rel numers, vriles, nd lgeric epressions. Properties of Alger Let u, v, nd w e rel numers, vriles, or lgeric epressions.. Commuttive property Addition: u + v = v + u Multipliction: uv = vu 2. Associtive property Addition: u + v2 + w = u + v + w2 Multipliction: uv2w = uvw2 3. Identity property Addition: u + 0 = u Multipliction: u # = u 4. Inverse property Addition: u + -u2 = 0 Multipliction: u # u =, u Z 0 5. Distriutive property Multipliction over ddition: uv + w2 = uv + uw u + v2w = uw + vw Multipliction over sutrction: uv - w2 = uv - uw u - v2w = uw - vw The left-hnd sides of the equtions for the distriutive property show the fctored form of the lgeric epressions, nd the right-hnd sides show the epnded form. EXAMPLE 5 Using the Distriutive Property () Write the epnded form of () Write the fctored form of 3y - y. SOLUTION () () + 22 = + 2 3y - y = 3-2y Now try Eercise 37. Here re some properties of the dditive inverse together with emples tht help illustrte their menings. Properties of the Additive Inverse Let u nd v e rel numers, vriles, or lgeric epressions. Property Emple --u2 = u --32 = 3 -u2v = u-v2 = -uv u = -u -423 = 4-32 = -4 # 32 = -2 -u2-v2 = uv = 6 # 7 = = u + v2 = -u2 + -v = = -6

7 SECTION P. Rel Numers 7 Integer Eponents Eponentil nottion is used to shorten products of fctors tht repet. For emple, ) = nd = Eponentil Nottion Let e rel numer, vrile, or lgeric epression nd n positive integer. Then n = # # Á #, n fctors where n is the eponent, is the se, nd to the nth power. n is the nth power of, red s The two eponentil epressions in Emple 6 hve the sme vlue ut hve different ses. Be sure you understnd the difference. Understnding Nottion = = -9 Be creful! EXAMPLE 6 Identifying the Bse () In -32 5, the se is -3. () In -3 5, the se is 3. Now try Eercise 43. Here re the sic properties of eponents together with emples tht help illustrte their menings. Properties of Eponents Let u nd v e rel numers, vriles, or lgeric epressions nd m nd n e integers. All ses re ssumed to e nonzero. Property. u m u n = u m+n u m 2. u n = um-n 3. u 0 = Emple 5 3 # 5 4 = = = 9-4 = = 4. u -n = u n y -3 = y 3 5. uv2 m = u m v m 2z2 = 2 5 z 5 = 32z 5 6. u m 2 n = u mn = 2 # 3 = u m = 7 v = um v m 7 To simplify n epression involving powers mens to rewrite it so tht ech fctor ppers only once, ll eponents re positive, nd eponents nd constnts re comined s much s possile.

8 8 CHAPTER P Prerequisites Moving Fctors Be sure you understnd how eponent property 4 permits us to move fctors from the numertor to the denomintor nd vice vers: v -m u -n = un v m EXAMPLE 7 Simplifying Epressions Involving Powers () = = () u 2 v -2 u - v 3 = u2 u v 2 v 3 = u3 v 5 (c) 2-3 Now try Eercise = = = = 8 6 Scientific Nottion Any positive numer cn e written in scientific nottion, c * 0 m, where c 6 0 nd m is n integer. This nottion provides wy to work with very lrge nd very smll numers. For emple, the distnce etween the Erth nd the Sun is out 93,000,000 miles. In scientific nottion, 93,000,000 mi = 9.3 * 0 7 mi. The positive eponent 7 indictes tht moving the deciml point in 9.3 to the right 7 plces produces the deciml form of the numer. The mss of n oygen molecule is out grm. In scientific nottion, g = 5.3 * 0-23 g. The negtive eponent -23 indictes tht moving the deciml point in 5.3 to the left 23 plces produces the deciml form of the numer. EXAMPLE 8 Converting to nd from Scientific Nottion () () * 0 8 = 237,500, = 3.49 * 0-7 Now try Eercises 57 nd 59. EXAMPLE 9 Using Scientific Nottion 360,00024,500,000,0002 Simplify, without using clcultor. 8,000 SOLUTION 360,00024,500,000,0002 8,000 = 3.6 * * * 0 4 = * = 9 * 0 0 = 90,000,000,000 Now try Eercise 63. Using Clcultor Figure P.5 shows two wys to perform the computtion. In the first, the numers re entered in deciml form. In the second, the numers re entered in scientific nottion. The clcultor uses 9E0 to stnd for 9 * 0 0.
