Document Summary
Math 115 textbook notes: chapter p the fundamental concepts of algebra 1. Exponenial notaion: bn = b b b b (factors of n) Union of set: a u b = a or b. Whole #"s that includes 0 and natural # Includes the negaives of the natural # and whole # 17, -5, -3, -2, 0, 2, 3, 5, 17. All #s that can be expressed as a quoient of two integers. All # whose decimals are neither terminaion nor repeaing. Real numbers # that are either raional or irraional. Meaning a is less than or equal to b a b a is greater than or equal to b. The product rule bm bn = bm+n. Quoient to power (a/b)n = an/bn (e. g. simplifying a2. The principal nth root of a real number n a=b means bn=a a1/n = n a a-1/n =
