    This document provides an overview of Section 1 on the real number system in a basic algebra lesson. It defines key terms like real numbers, rational numbers, integers, natural numbers, prime numbers and composite numbers. It explains inequality symbols and how to graph real numbers and inequalities on a number line using intervals, open and closed circles. An example problem asks the reader to list subsets of numbers from a given set using properties like natural numbers, even integers and irrational numbers.

    Lesson 1

    A Review of
    Basic Algebra
    Section 1
    Section 1: The Real Number
    System
    By the end of this video, you should be able to:

    List any number in a set of real numbers.


    Insert inequality symbol to define the relationship between the rational
    numbers.
    Graph a real number or inequality on the number line.
    1.1 Real Number System

    • In algebra, we will work with expressions that contain numbers and letters. The letters that stand for
    numbers are called variables. Some examples of algebraic expressions are:

    𝑥 + 30

    5𝑥 𝑦
    −
    2 3

    2𝑥 + 4𝑦 − 5
    Real numbers

    Rational numbers Irrational numbers

    Integers Noninteger rational numbers

    Negative integers Zero Positive integers

    Prime numbers Composite numbers


    1.2 Inequality Symbols
    1.3 Graphs of Real Numbers

    • Graphs of some sets of real numbers are portions of a number line called intervals.

    • The parenthesis { ( or ) } indicates that the endpoints are not included in the interval.

    • The bracket { [ or ] } indicates that the endpoints are included in the interval.

    • The graphs can also be drawn using open and filled circles. An open circle indicates that an
    endpoint is not included, and a filled circle indicates that an endpoint is included.

    • Sometimes two inequalities can be written as a single expression called a compound inequality.

    • For example, the compound inequality 5 < x < 12 is a combination of the inequalities:
    5 < x and x < 12.
