Natural numbers are
the counting numbers 1,2,3,...
Whole numbers are
the NON negative integers 0,1,2,3,...
Another way to define whole numbers is
the counting numbers plus zero!!
Integers are
whole numbers and their opposite ...-2,-1,0,1,2,...
Remember that integers include...
ZERO!!!!
Rational numbers are
Real numbers that can be written in the form a/b (fraction)
Rational number in decimal form are
TERMINATING or REPEATING
Irrational numbers are numbers
that cannot be written in the form a/b (fraction)
Irrational numbers in decimal form are
NON-terminating and NON-repeating
real numbers are numbers that are
either rational or irrational
counterexample is
any example that proves a statement false
An inequality is a mathematical sentence that
compares the values of two expressions using an inequality symbol
opposites are numbers that are
the same distance from ZERO on a number line, but LIE in opposite directions
absolute value is
the DISTANCE that a number is from zero on a number line
