Rational and Irrational

Rational numbers can be expressed as terminating or repeating decimals, while irrational numbers cannot. Examples of rational numbers are square roots of 16, 9, and 4, and examples of irrational numbers are square roots of 3, 5, and 6. Laws of indices allow expressions with powers to be manipulated efficiently by representing repeated multiplication in a compressed form. Standard form presents mathematical expressions in a canonical way to simplify representations and allow unique identification, such as writing very large or small numbers in a form with fewer digits like billions or millions. Significant figures refer to the meaningful digits in a measurement and determine the accuracy of a value.

Rational and Irrational

Rational and Irrational


• A number that can be expressed as an terminating decimal and
reccuring decimal
• An irrational number are that cannot be expressed as an
terminating decimal and reccuring decimal
RATIONAL AND IRRATIONAL NUMBERS EXAMPLE

Numbers
√ 3,√ 16,√5,√ 9,√ 6,√4

Rational numbers are √16, √ 9, √ 4


Irrational Numbers are √3, √ 5, √ 6
Laws of indices
Meaning
• Indices are used to show numbers that have been multiplied
by themselves. They can also be used to represent roots, such
as the square root, and some fractions. The laws of indices
enable expressions involving powers to be manipulated more
efficiently than writing them out in full.
Laws of Indices examples
• 22 x 210 = 212
• 76(2) = 12
•
Standard form
• In Mathematics and computer science a canonical, normal, or
standard form of a mathematical object is as a standard way of
presenting that object as a mathematical expression. Often, it is one
which provides the simplest representation of an object and which
allows it to be identified in a unique way.
• Significant figures are the number of digits in a value, often a
measurement, that contribute to the degree of accuracy of
the value. We start counting significant figures at the first non-
zero digit.
Standard form example
• id you know that Earth is 4,543,000,000 years old? We know you
skipped past all those zeroes, so we will give you a simpler way of
saying it: Earth is 4.543 billion years old.
• Significant figures are the number of digits in a value, often a
measurement, that contribute to the degree of accuracy of
the value. We start counting significant figures at the first non-
zero digit.
• All zeros that occur between any two non zero digits are
significant. For example, 108.0097 contains seven significant
digits. All zeros that are on the right of a decimal point and also
to the left of a non-zero digit is never significant. For example,
0.00798 contained three significant digits.
• The number, amount, rate, etc. of something, expressed as if it
is part of a total which is a hundred; a part or share of a whole is
called as Percentage.
• The meaning of the word multiplier is a factor that amplifies or
increases the base value of something else
• For example, in the multiplication statement 3 × 4 = 12 the
multiplier 3 amplifies the value of 4 to 12.
• Our percent fraction is 25/100, which means that 2080 as a
percentage is 25%.
