Numbers:- The systems of numbers expanded
with new needs.
*Natural numbers :- (Counting numbers)
1 , 2 ,3 ,4 , ………
*Whole numbers :-
0 , 1 , 2 , 3, 4 , …….
*
*Integers :- Positive & negative numbers & Zero
…., -2 , -1 , 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , ……….
*Fractions :-
2
3
,
1
2
,
1
3
, etc.
*
*Need for rational numbers:
Do we have enough numbers to solve all simple
equations?
Lets us take 4𝑥 + 9 = 0
𝑥 =
−9
4
We need the number
−9
4
,which is neither a fraction
nor an integer, for solving the given equation.
*
*A number which can be written in the form
𝑝
𝑞
,
where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0 is called a
rational number.
Eg. 2 , 0 , -3 ,
2
3
,
−5
7
*Note:- Every natural number ,whole number
integer and fraction is also a rational number.
*Properties of Rational
numbers
How do rational numbers behave when they are
added , subtracted ,multiplied or divided with each
other?
*1) Closure Property:

÷ 0 is not defined
Not always
Note:- For any rational number a , a ÷ 0 is not defined .Rational numbers are not
closed under division.
*2) Commutativity:

Division is not commutative
for
Rational numbers
*3) Associativity:
*Addition and Multiplication are associative for
rational numbers.
*For any three rational numbers a, b and c,
a + (b + c) = ( a + b) + c
Also, a x(b x c) = ( a x b) x c
Note: Subtraction and Division are not
associative for Rational numbers.
5) The Role of
ONE:
*For any rational number ‘a’,
a + 0 = 0 + a = a
Zero is called the identity for the addition of Rational
numbers.
● For any rational number ‘a’,
a x 1 = 1 x a = a
One is the multiplicative identity for Rational numbers.
*
Additive Inverse and Multiplicative
Inverse
6) Negative of a number (Additive Inverse):
- 𝑎
𝑏
is the additive inverse of
𝑎
𝑏
since,
𝑎
𝑏
+ (-
𝑎
𝑏
) = 0
7) Reciprocal ( Multiplicative Inverse):
Eg:
2
3
x
3
2
= 1 Also, -
5
4
x -
4
5
= 1
𝑎
𝑏
and
𝑐
𝑑
are the reciprocals of each other if
𝑎
𝑏
x
𝑐
𝑑
= 1
*8) Distributivity of
Mutiplication over
Addition and
Subtraction:
For all rational numbers a , b and c
a( b + c) = ab + ac
a( b – c) = ab - ac
*Find the no./nos. in each case:
1)The rational number that does not have a reciprocal
Ans) Zero
2) The rational nos. that are equal to their reciprocals
Ans) 1 and -1
3) The rational number that is equal to its negative
Ans) Zero
4) The reciprocal of -5
Ans) -
1
5
5) The negative of -
1
4
Ans)
1
4
*Fill in the blanks:
1) The reciprocal of
1
𝑥
where x ≠ 0 is ---x------.
2) The product of two R.nos is always a –R.NOS----.
3) The reciprocal of a positive R.no is ----Possitive-
-----.
*Rational numbers
between two rational
numbers
Eg: Finding rational numbers between -2 and 0
-2 = -
2
1
= -
20
10
0 =
0
1
=
0
10
Ans) Rational nos. between -2 and 0 are:

The Evolution of Numbers from Counting to Rational

  • 1. * Numbers:- The systems of numbers expanded with new needs. *Natural numbers :- (Counting numbers) 1 , 2 ,3 ,4 , ……… *Whole numbers :- 0 , 1 , 2 , 3, 4 , …….
  • 2. * *Integers :- Positive & negative numbers & Zero …., -2 , -1 , 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , ………. *Fractions :- 2 3 , 1 2 , 1 3 , etc.
  • 3. * *Need for rational numbers: Do we have enough numbers to solve all simple equations? Lets us take 4𝑥 + 9 = 0 𝑥 = −9 4 We need the number −9 4 ,which is neither a fraction nor an integer, for solving the given equation.
  • 4. * *A number which can be written in the form 𝑝 𝑞 , where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0 is called a rational number. Eg. 2 , 0 , -3 , 2 3 , −5 7 *Note:- Every natural number ,whole number integer and fraction is also a rational number.
  • 5. *Properties of Rational numbers How do rational numbers behave when they are added , subtracted ,multiplied or divided with each other?
  • 6. *1) Closure Property: Operation Example Rational number? Remarks Addition 2 + 1 2 = 5 2 Yes Rational numbers are closed under addition Subtraction 5 8 - 3 4 = 5−6 8 = −1 8 yes R.Nos are closed under subtraction Multiplicatio n −4 5 X 5 8 = −1 2 yes R.Nos are closed under multiplication Division 2 7 ÷ 5 3 = 2 7 X 3 5 = 6 35 3 5 ÷ 0 is not defined Not always Note:- For any rational number a , a ÷ 0 is not defined .Rational numbers are not closed under division.
  • 7. *2) Commutativity: Operation Example Remarks Addition 1 + 1 2 = 1 2 + 1 = 3 2 Addition is commutative for Rational numbers Subtraction 6 3 - 4 3 ≠ 4 3 - 6 3 Subtraction is not commutative for Rational numbers multiplicatio n - 7 3 x 6 5 = 6 5 x - 7 3 Multiplication is commutative for Rational numbers Division - 5 4 ÷ 1 4 ≠ 1 4 ÷ - 5 4 Division is not commutative for Rational numbers
  • 8. *3) Associativity: *Addition and Multiplication are associative for rational numbers. *For any three rational numbers a, b and c, a + (b + c) = ( a + b) + c Also, a x(b x c) = ( a x b) x c Note: Subtraction and Division are not associative for Rational numbers.
  • 9. 5) The Role of ONE: *For any rational number ‘a’, a + 0 = 0 + a = a Zero is called the identity for the addition of Rational numbers. ● For any rational number ‘a’, a x 1 = 1 x a = a One is the multiplicative identity for Rational numbers.
  • 10. * Additive Inverse and Multiplicative Inverse 6) Negative of a number (Additive Inverse): - 𝑎 𝑏 is the additive inverse of 𝑎 𝑏 since, 𝑎 𝑏 + (- 𝑎 𝑏 ) = 0 7) Reciprocal ( Multiplicative Inverse): Eg: 2 3 x 3 2 = 1 Also, - 5 4 x - 4 5 = 1 𝑎 𝑏 and 𝑐 𝑑 are the reciprocals of each other if 𝑎 𝑏 x 𝑐 𝑑 = 1
  • 11. *8) Distributivity of Mutiplication over Addition and Subtraction: For all rational numbers a , b and c a( b + c) = ab + ac a( b – c) = ab - ac
  • 12. *Find the no./nos. in each case: 1)The rational number that does not have a reciprocal Ans) Zero 2) The rational nos. that are equal to their reciprocals Ans) 1 and -1 3) The rational number that is equal to its negative Ans) Zero 4) The reciprocal of -5 Ans) - 1 5 5) The negative of - 1 4 Ans) 1 4
