Important Definitions and Rules

Rational Number:
A number is called a rational number if it can be expressed in the form of $\frac{p}{q}$, where $p$ and $q$ are integers and $q \neq 0$.

Irrational Number:
A number that cannot be written in the form of $\frac{p}{q}$ (where $p$ and $q$ are integers and $q \neq 0$) is called an irrational number.

Real Numbers:
The collection of all rational and irrational numbers is called real numbers.

Decimal Expansion of Real Numbers:
The decimal expansion of a rational number is either terminating or non-terminating recurring, while the decimal expansion of an irrational number is non-terminating and non-recurring.

Note: If $r$ is a rational number and $s$ is an irrational number then-
1. $r+s$ and $r-s$ are irrational numbers.
2. Additionally, if $r$ is a non-zero rational number then $rs$ and $\frac{r}{s}$ are irrational numbers.


For positive real numbers $a$ and $b$:
(i) $\sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}\sqrt{b}$
(ii) $\sqrt{\frac{a}{b}}=\frac{\sqrt{a}}{\sqrt{b}}$
(iii) $(\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b})(\sqrt{a}-\sqrt{b})=a-b$
(iv) $(a+\sqrt{b})(a-\sqrt{b})=a^2-b$
(v) $(\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b})^2=a+2\sqrt{ab}+b$

If $p$ and $q$ are rational numbers and $a$ is a positive real number, then-
(i) $a^pa^q=a^{p+q}$
(ii) ${\left(a^p\right)}^q=a^{pq}$
(iii) $\frac{a^p}{a^q}=a^{p-q}$
(iv) $a^pb^p=(ab)^p$
