real numbers

Summary - A rational number is a number of the form where p and q are integers and . Problems involving rational numbers are simplified using 'BODMAS' rule. A rational number can be represented in the decimal form. When a rational number is represen..

An algebraic expression of the form a 0 +a 1 x+a 2 x 2 +.+a n x n where a 0 , a 1 , a 2 ,.a n are real numbers, n is a positive integer is called a polynomial in x...

The rational numbers can be expressed as terminating or recurring decimals. Numbers which are not rational are called irrational numbers . When expressed as decimals, they are non-terminating and non-recurring. We can obtain infinite number of ..

Geometrical representation of a Complex number, Argand diagram - Since every complex number z = x + iy is an order pair of real numbers (x, y), it can therefore be represented by a point P(x,y) in the xy plane by taking the real part along the x-axi..

Question: List the elements of the following sets and specify whether they are finite or infinite: Answer: (i) Since there is no natural number lying between 2 and 3, the set is a null set i.e. f . This is a finite set. (i) Since there are infinite number of..

forms the set of real numbers (ii..

If x and y are any real numbers, then x+iy is called a complex number. In the complex number x+iy, the real numbers x and y are respectively called the real part and imaginary part of x+iy. Two complex numbers are s..

All the q-th roots of z lie on a circle centred at the origin O and having radius equal to the real, positive q t h root of r. One of them has amplitude q /q and others are uniformly spaced around the circle separated from others by an angle 2p ..

A rectangular array of entries is called a Matrix. The entries may be real, complex or functions. The entries are also called as the elements of the matrix. The rectangular array of entries are enclosed in an ordinary bracket or in square bracket. Matrices are denoted by capital lette..

Given a, b, c and d are non-zero real numbers, we can deduce other proportions by simple Algebra. These results are often referred by the names mentioned along each of the properties obtained. (1) If then bc = ad This property is known as INVERTENDO. (2) If , then ad = bc This p..
