Real Number System

1. Natural Numbers:
The numbers of the form = {1, 2,3, 4,5,} are called Natural Numbers.

2. Whole Numbers:
The numbers of the form W = {0,1, 2,3, 4,5,} are called Whole Numbers.

3. Integers:
The numbers of the form = { , 3, 2, 1, 0,1, 2,3,} = {0, 1, 2, 3,} are called
Integers.

Relatively Prime Integers: Relatively prime integers are those which do not have common
factor except 1.
For example, ( 9,16 ) = 1 .

4. Rational Numbers:

Rational Numbers are defined as

p
= : p, q q 0 .
q
1 3 5 7
For example , , , , all are rational numbers.

Decimal Representation of Rational and Irrational Numbers:

The numbers whose decimal representations are terminating or recurring are the rational
numbers, for example 0.5, 0.33333, 1.2548787878, 56.2547954895489548,
98.65478, 6.5478 etc.

The numbers whose decimal representations are both non-terminating and non-recurring
are called irrational numbers, for example 1.41438745624, 6.51478412, 3.1415
etc.

Examples:

25
i) 0.25 = is a rational number.
100

1
ii) 0.333... is a recurring decimal, it is a rational number.
3

iii) 2.3 ( = 2.333...) is a rational number.

iv) 0.142857142857... is a rational number.
7

v) 0.01001000100001... is a non-terminating, non-periodic decimal, so it is an irrational.

6. Real Numbers:

The union of rational and irrational numbers is called Real Numbers. It is denoted by , it can
written as = .

5. Additive and Multiplicative Identities of Complex Number

The additive identity of a complex numbers is ( 0,0 ) , because

( x, y ) + ( 0, 0 ) = ( x + 0, y + 0 ) = ( x, y )

Polar Form of a Complex Number

Let O be the origin and OX and OY be the x-axis and y-axis
respectively. z = x + iy = ( x, y ) be a complex number represented by
the point P ( x, y ) . Draw PM OX . Then, OM = x and PM = y .
Join OP . Let OP = r and XOP = . Then
z = x + iy = r ( cos + i sin )
This form of z is called polar or trigonometric form.
Comparing real and imaginary parts, we get
x = r cos ------- (1)
y = r sin -------- (2)
Squaring and Adding (1) and (2), we get
r 2 = x 2 + y 2 or r = x 2 + y 2 = z
Thus, r is known and is equal to the modulus of the complex number z .
Substituting the value of r in equation (1) and equation (2), we get
x y
cos = and sin = -------------- (3)
x +y

x + y2

y y
Dividing equation (2) by equation (1), we get tan = = tan 1
x x
Any value of satisfying (3) is known as amplitude or argument of z and written as = arg ( z ) .
The unique value of such that < for which x = r cos , y = r sin , is known as the
principal value of the argument.

The general value of the argument is ( 2n + ) , where n is an integer and is the principal
value of arg ( z ) .While reducing a complex number to polar form, we always take the principal
value.
