Basic Properties of Numbers

Irrational numbers
√
The square root symbol or square root sign is a mathematical symbol, denoted by ‘ . ’.
This symbol is known as radical, in words.
The number present under the root is called the radicand.
Radicand: The number you are finding root of.
√
Radical sign: The symbol that means “root of”.
Degree: The number of times the radicand is multiplied by itself. 2 means square root,
3 means cube root. After that they are called the 4th root, 5th root and so on. If this is
missing, it is assumed to be 2 - the square root.
Irrational Numbers: All numbers which cannot be written as fractions.

√ √ √ √
Eg: − 3, − 2, + 2, + 3 · · · ..
Irrational numbers consist of non-terminating and non-recurring decimals. Irrational num-
bers are also known as surds.
Real Numbers: The set of Rational Numbers with the set of Irrational Numbers ad-
joined.
Computation of Numbers
• ‘From’ and ‘Between’ numbers:
‘From’ numbers include the tail end numbers of the given set
Eg: There are 4 numbers ‘from’ 2 to 5
How to find? (For consecutive numbers)
Number of numbers = (Last number -1st number) +1
‘Between’ numbers exclude the tail end numbers of the given set
Eg: There are 2 numbers ‘between’ 2 and 5
How to find? (For consecutive numbers)
Number of numbers = (Last number -1st number) -1
