you can classify numbers using sets. a set is a well - defined collection of objects. each object in the set is called an element of the set. a subset of a set consists of elements from the given set. you can list the elements of a set within braces \\{ \\}.
- complete the sets of numbers.
natural numbers \\(\left\\{1, \quad, 3, \ldots\
ight\\}\\)
whole numbers \\(\left\\{ \quad, 1, \quad, 3, \ldots\
ight\\}\\)
integers \\(\left\\{\ldots, - 2, \quad, 0, 1, \quad, 3, \ldots\
ight\\}
a rational number is any number that you can write in the form \\(\frac{a}{b}\\), where \\(a\\) and \\(b\\) are integers and \\(b \
eq 0\\). a rational number in decimal form is either a terminating decimal such as 5.45 or a repeating decimal such as 0.333..., which you can write as \\(0.\overline{3}\\).
- cross out the numbers that are not rational numbers.
\\(\pi\\) \\(\quad - \frac{7}{4}\\) \\(\quad \sqrt{5}\\) \\(\quad 0.\overline{9}\\) \\(\quad 7.35\\)
an irrational number cannot be represented as the quotient of two integers. in decimal form, irrational numbers do not terminate or repeat. irrational numbers include \\(\pi\\) and \\(\sqrt{2}\\).
Problem 1 (Simplifying Square Root Expressions)
3. Circle the equation that uses the positive square root of 64.
To find the positive square root of 64, we need to find a number \( x \) such that \( x \times x = 64 \) (since the square root of a number \( a \) is a number \( x \) where \( x^2 = a \), and the positive square root is the positive \( x \)).
- For \( 16 \cdot 4 = 64 \): \( 16 \) and \( 4 \) are different, so this is not a square of a single number.
- For \( 32 \cdot 2 = 64 \): \( 32 \) and \( 2 \) are different, so this is not a square of a single number.
- For \( 8 \cdot 8 = 64 \): Here, \( 8 \times 8 = 64 \), so this represents the positive square root (since \( 8 \) is positive) of \( 64 \) because \( \sqrt{64}=8 \) and \( 8^2 = 64 \).
So we circle \( 8 \cdot 8 = 64 \).
4. The simplified form of \( \sqrt{64} \) is:
We know that the square root of a number \( a \) is a number \( x \) such that \( x^2=a \). We need to find \( x \) where \( x^2 = 64 \).
We test numbers: \( 8^2=64 \) (since \( 8\times8 = 64 \)) and also \( (-8)^2 = 64 \), but the square root symbol \( \sqrt{} \) denotes the principal (positive) square root. So \( \sqrt{64}=8 \).
Problem 2 (Estimating a Square Root)
5. Use the number lines below to find the perfect squares closest to 34.
Perfect squares are numbers like \( n^2 \) where \( n \) is an integer. Let's list some perfect squares:
- \( 5^2=25 \)
- \( 6^2 = 36 \)
- \( 4^2=16 \), \( 5^2 = 25 \), \( 6^2=36 \), \( 7^2 = 49 \)
We need to find the perfect squares closest to 34. \( 25=5^2 \) and \( 36 = 6^2 \). Now, \( 34 - 25=9 \) and \( 36 - 34 = 2 \). Wait, no, wait: Wait, \( 25 \) is \( 5^2 \), \( 36 \) is \( 6^2 \). So on the number line for numbers: 20, 25, 30, 34, 36, 40. For the square root number line: \( \sqrt{20} \), \( \sqrt{25}=5 \), \( \sqrt{30} \), \( \sqrt{34} \), \( \sqrt{36}=6 \), \( \sqrt{40} \).
So we fill in the number line:
- For the number line (top): The positions are 20, 25, 30, 34, 36, 40 (since 25 is \( 5^2 \), 36 is \( 6^2 \), 34 is between them).
- For the square root number line (bottom): \( \sqrt{20} \), \( \sqrt{25} = 5 \), \( \sqrt{30} \), \( \sqrt{34} \), \( \sqrt{36}=6 \), \( \sqrt{40} \)
6. Since 34 is closer to 36 than to 25, \( \sqrt{34} \) is closer to 6 than to 5. So, the value of \( \sqrt{34} \) to the nearest integer is 6.
Let's check the distances:
- Distance between 34 and 25: \( 34 - 25=9 \)
- Distance between 36 and 34: \( 36 - 34 = 2 \)
Since 34 is closer to 36, \( \sqrt{34} \) is closer to \( \sqrt{36}=6 \) than to \( \sqrt{25}=5 \). So the nearest integer is 6.
7. Complete the sets of numbers.
- Natural numbers: Natural numbers are positive integers starting from 1. So the set is \( \{1, 2, 3, \dots\} \) (because natural numbers are 1, 2, 3, ...).
- Whole numbers: Whole numbers include 0 and positive integers. So the set is \( \{0, 1, 2, 3, \dots\} \) (0 is included, then 1, 2, 3, ...).
- Integers: Integers include negative integers, zero, and positive integers. So the set is \( \{\dots, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, \dots\} \) (negative integers like -2, -1, then 0, 1, 2, 3, ...).
8. Cross out the numbers that are NOT rational numbers.
A rational number can be written as \( \frac{a}{b} \) where \( a,b \) are integers and \( b
eq0 \).
- \( \pi \): \( \pi \) is an irrational number (it has a non - terminating, non - repeating decimal expansion and cannot be written as a fraction of two integers).
- \( -\frac{7}{4} \): This is a fraction of two integers (\( a=-7 \), \( b = 4 \), \( b
eq0 \)), so it is ration…
