🧮 Quick Study Guide

• ✔️ Real Numbers: All numbers that can be represented on a number line. This includes rational and irrational numbers.
• ➗ Rational Numbers: Numbers that can be expressed as a fraction $\frac{p}{q}$, where $p$ and $q$ are integers and $q \neq 0$. Includes integers, fractions, terminating decimals, and repeating decimals.
• ♾️ Irrational Numbers: Numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers. Their decimal representations are non-terminating and non-repeating. Examples: $\pi$, $\sqrt{2}$.
• ➕ Integers: Whole numbers and their negatives. Examples: ..., -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, ...
• 💯 Whole Numbers: Non-negative integers. Examples: 0, 1, 2, 3, ...
• 🌱 Natural Numbers: Positive integers. Examples: 1, 2, 3, ...
