Q

Irrational Numbers

A

the set of irrational numbers is the set of all numbers whose decimal representations are neither terminating nor repeating. Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a quotient of integers.
Example:

51
Q

algebraic expression

A

a combination of variables and numbers using the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division, as well as powers or roots

52
Q

Whole Numbers

A

{0,1,2,3,4,5, … }
The set of whole numbers includes 0 and the natural numbers
Example: 0,2,3,5,17

53

66
Q

Rational Numbers

A

{a/b | a and b are integers and b<>0}
The set of rational numbers is the set of all numbers that can be expressed as a quotient of two integers, with the denominator not 0. Rational numbers can be expressed as terminating or repeating decimals.

Example: -17=(-17/1),-5=(-5/1),-3,-2,0,2,3,5,17,
(2/5)=0.4,(-2/3)=-0.6666
