Real Numbers
 Whole numbers = counting numbers & 0
 Integers = whole numbers and their negatives
 Rational Numbers = can be written as a fraction of
 integers
   Terminating  has a finite number of digits, ends
     1/8 = 0.125
   Nonterminating  repeat, but never end
      1/7 = 0.142857142857. = 0.142857
 Irrational Numbers  never repeat and do not end
        = 3.141592654. 2 = 1.414213562.
Properties of Equality
            for Real Numbers
Reflexive                     a=a
Symmetric                     If a = b, then b = a
Transitive                    If a = b and b=c, then a=c
Addition and Subtraction      If a = b, then
                              a + c = b + c and a - c = b - c
Multiplication and Division   If a = b, then
                              ac = bc and if c0 then a/c = b/c
Substitution                  If a = b, then a may be substituted for b
                              in any equation.
Number Lines
 Real numbers can be superimposed on a line to
  provide coordinates of points.
 A point is selected as the starting point, or origin.
 Numbers to the left or the origin are negative, to the
  right positive.

            A      B              C       D

           -2     -1    0     1       2   3
Distance on a Number Line
 The distance between points is found by taking the
 positive difference in their coordinates
 Length (distance)    A(Xa) to B (Xb)
      d = AB = | Xb  Xa |
 Absolute value | a |
   Means to take what ever is inside and make it positive
   |8|=8
   | -8 | = 8
Segments and Bteweenness
 B is between A and C if it is on the same line and to
  the right of one, and to the left of the other.
 For any B between A and C, segment addition:
                            A      B           C
                                AB + BC = AC

 For endpoints A and B, the Midpoint (M):
       M = 1/2(A + B)
