High School: Workig with Epressios LESSON : NUMBER SYSTEM Challege Problem N.RN. 8. A ratioal umber is a umber that ca be represeted as a fractio of two itegers. If umber is a repeatig umber, you ca always covert this umber ito a fractio of two itegers. To fid those itegers, use epoets of 0 to create a subtractio operatio usig two umbers derived from that both oly have the repeatig digits i their decimal portio. For eample, take the repeatig decimal umber. 587. The repeatig portio of this umber is 87. Create two umbers that oly have the repeatig portio as their decimal portio by multiplyig by epoets of 0 (e.g. 05 ad 0). Subtractig these two umbers will get rid of the decimal portio. The outcome of the subtractio will be a iteger. 5 0,58,7. 87 0 5. 87 5 0 0,58,406 (0 5 0),58,406,58,406,58,406,69,0 0 5 0 99,990 49,9 95,69,0 So,. 587 49,995 As with this eample, all repeatig decimals ca be coverted to fractios.

The easiest way to approimate the values of b ad d is to graph the two equatios remaiig ad fid the poit of itersectio of the correspodig graphs. Sice graphig oly provides a approimatio of the itersectio, you will eed to verify that the coordiates obtaied solve both equatios. If you chage the variables i the equatios for b ad d with ad y, respectively, you obtai: y y 0 There are two possible poits of itersectios: ( 0, ) ad ( 0.5, 0). Both coordiate pairs solve the equatios ad are therefore correct values.

Square roots of real umbers ca oly be calculated if the umber is positive. Square roots of egative umbers are impossible. The distace betwee two poits is epressed as the square root of the sum of the squares of the differeces betwee the coordiates ad the y coordiates of the two poits. Sice the differeces are squared, the square of the differeces will always be positive umbers eve whe the differeces themselves are egative. Sice both squares of the differeces are positive, the sum of those squares will also be positive.

I decimal form, irratioal umbers ever ed or repeat. All square roots of umbers that are ot perfect squares are irratioal. Special umbers such as π are also irratioal. real umbers A set of umbers cotaiig all ratioal umbers ad all irratioal umbers. polyomial epressio factorig secoddegree polyomials All the umbers o the umber lie are real umbers.
