Irrational Numbers
Irrational numbers can be written only as
decimals that do not terminate or repeat. They
cannot be written as the quotient of two
integers. If a whole number is not a perfect
square, then its square root is an irrational
number.
Caution!
A repeating decimal may not appear to
repeat on a calculator, because
calculators show a finite number of digits.

A fraction with a denominator of 0 is undefined because you cannot
divide by zero. So it is not a number at all.

Answer Now
The additive inverses (or
opposites) of two numbers add
to equal zero.
Example: The additive inverse of 3 is
-3
Proof: 3 + (-3) = 0
We will use the additive
inverses for subtraction
problems.
What’s the difference
between
7 - 3 and 7 + (-3) ?
7 - 3 = 4 and 7 + (-3) = 4
The only difference is that 7 - 3 is a
subtraction problem and 7 + (-3) is an
addition problem.
“SUBTRACTING IS THE SAME AS
ADDING THE OPPOSITE.”
(Keep-change-change)
When subtracting, change the
subtraction to adding the opposite (keep-
change-change) and then follow your
addition rule.
Example #1: - 4 - (-7)
- 4 + (+7)
Diff. Signs --> Subtract and use larger sign.
3
Example #2: -3-7
- 3 + (-7)
Same Signs --> Add and keep the sign.
