# Review of past work  (Page 7/8)

 Page 7 / 8

In this example, the decimal point must go after the first 2, but since the number after the 9 is a 7, $a=3,00$ .

So the number is $3,00×{10}^{m}$ , where $m=8$ , because there are 8 digits left after the decimal point. So, the speed of light in scientific notation totwo decimal places is $3,00×{10}^{8}\phantom{\rule{3pt}{0ex}}m·s{}^{-1}$

As another example, the size of the HI virus is around $1,2×{10}^{-7}$  m. This is equal to $1,2×0,0000001\phantom{\rule{3pt}{0ex}}m$ , which is $0,00000012\phantom{\rule{3pt}{0ex}}m$ .

## Real numbers

Now that we have learnt about the basics of mathematics, we can look at what real numbers are in a little more detail. The following are examples of realnumbers and it is seen that each number is written in a different way.

$\sqrt{3},\phantom{\rule{1.em}{0ex}}1,2557878,\phantom{\rule{1.em}{0ex}}\frac{56}{34},\phantom{\rule{1.em}{0ex}}10,\phantom{\rule{1.em}{0ex}}2,1,\phantom{\rule{1.em}{0ex}}-5,\phantom{\rule{1.em}{0ex}}-6,35,\phantom{\rule{1.em}{0ex}}-\frac{1}{90}$

Depending on how the real number is written, it can be further labelled as either rational, irrational, integer or natural. A set diagram of the differentnumber types is shown in [link] .

## Non-real numbers

All numbers that are not real numbers have imaginary components. We will not see imaginary numbers in this book but they come from $\sqrt{-1}$ . Since we won't be looking at numbers which are not real, if you see a number you can be sure it is a realone.

## Natural numbers

The first type of numbers that are learnt about are the numbers that are used for counting. These numbers are called natural numbers and are the simplest numbers in mathematics:

$0,1,2,3,4,...$

Mathematicians use the symbol ${\mathbb{N}}_{0}$ to mean the set of all natural numbers . These are also sometimes called whole numbers . The natural numbers are a subset of the real numbers since every natural number is also a real number.

## Integers

The integers are all of the natural numbers and their negatives:

$...-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4...$

Mathematicians use the symbol $\mathbb{Z}$ to mean the set of all integers . The integers are a subset of the real numbers, since every integer is a real number.

## Rational numbers

The natural numbers and the integers are only able to describe quantities that are whole or complete. For example, you can have 4 apples, but what happens whenyou divide one apple into 4 equal pieces and share it among your friends? Then it is not a whole apple anymore and a different type of number is needed todescribe the apples. This type of number is known as a rational number.

A rational number is any number which can be written as:

$\frac{a}{b}$

where $a$ and $b$ are integers and $b\ne 0$ .

The following are examples of rational numbers:

$\frac{20}{9},\phantom{\rule{1.em}{0ex}}\frac{-1}{2},\phantom{\rule{1.em}{0ex}}\frac{20}{10},\phantom{\rule{1.em}{0ex}}\frac{3}{15}$

## Notation tip

Rational numbers are any number that can be expressed in the form $\frac{a}{b};a,b\in \mathbb{Z};b\ne 0$ which means “the set of numbers $\frac{a}{b}$ when $a$ and $b$ are integers”.

Mathematicians use the symbol $\mathbb{Q}$ to mean the set of all rational numbers . The set of rational numbers contains all numbers which can be written as terminating or repeating decimals.

## Rational numbers

All integers are rational numbers with a denominator of 1.

You can add and multiply rational numbers and still get a rational number at the end, which is very useful. If we have 4 integers $a,b,c$ and $d$ , then the rules for adding and multiplying rational numbers are

The given of f(x=x-2. then what is the value of this f(3) 5f(x+1)
hmm well what is the answer
Abhi
how do they get the third part x = (32)5/4
can someone help me with some logarithmic and exponential equations.
20/(×-6^2)
Salomon
okay, so you have 6 raised to the power of 2. what is that part of your answer
I don't understand what the A with approx sign and the boxed x mean
it think it's written 20/(X-6)^2 so it's 20 divided by X-6 squared
Salomon
I'm not sure why it wrote it the other way
Salomon
I got X =-6
Salomon
ok. so take the square root of both sides, now you have plus or minus the square root of 20= x-6
oops. ignore that.
so you not have an equal sign anywhere in the original equation?
hmm
Abhi
is it a question of log
Abhi
🤔.

what is a good calculator for all algebra; would a Casio fx 260 work with all algebra equations? please name the cheapest, thanks.
a perfect square v²+2v+_
kkk nice
algebra 2 Inequalities:If equation 2 = 0 it is an open set?
or infinite solutions?
Kim
The answer is neither. The function, 2 = 0 cannot exist. Hence, the function is undefined.

what is nanomaterials​ and their applications of sensors.
what is nano technology
what is system testing?
preparation of nanomaterial
Yes, Nanotechnology has a very fast field of applications and their is always something new to do with it...
what is system testing
what is the application of nanotechnology?

In this morden time nanotechnology used in many field . 1-Electronics-manufacturad IC ,RAM,MRAM,solar panel etc 2-Helth and Medical-Nanomedicine,Drug Dilivery for cancer treatment etc 3- Atomobile -MEMS, Coating on car etc. and may other field for details you can check at Google
Azam
anybody can imagine what will be happen after 100 years from now in nano tech world
Prasenjit
after 100 year this will be not nanotechnology maybe this technology name will be change . maybe aftet 100 year . we work on electron lable practically about its properties and behaviour by the different instruments
Azam
name doesn't matter , whatever it will be change... I'm taking about effect on circumstances of the microscopic world
Prasenjit
how hard could it be to apply nanotechnology against viral infections such HIV or Ebola?
Damian
silver nanoparticles could handle the job?
Damian
not now but maybe in future only AgNP maybe any other nanomaterials
Azam
Hello

I'm interested in Nanotube
Uday
this technology will not going on for the long time , so I'm thinking about femtotechnology 10^-15
Prasenjit
can nanotechnology change the direction of the face of the world
At high concentrations (>0.01 M), the relation between absorptivity coefficient and absorbance is no longer linear. This is due to the electrostatic interactions between the quantum dots in close proximity. If the concentration of the solution is high, another effect that is seen is the scattering of light from the large number of quantum dots. This assumption only works at low concentrations of the analyte. Presence of stray light.
the Beer law works very well for dilute solutions but fails for very high concentrations. why?
how did you get the value of 2000N.What calculations are needed to arrive at it
