#### Rational Numbers
- Definition: Numbers that can be expressed as a fraction \( \frac{p}{q} \), where \( p \) and \( q \) are integers and \( q \neq 0 \).
- Examples:
- Decimal representation: Terminating or repeating decimals.
- Examples: \( 0.75 = \frac{3}{4} \), \( 0.\overline{3} = \frac{1}{3} \).
#### Irrational Numbers
- Definition: Numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction \( \frac{p}{q} \). Their decimal representations are non-terminating and non-repeating.
- Examples:
- \( \sqrt{2} \approx 1.41421356\ldots \)
- \( \pi \approx 3.14159265\ldots \)
#### Integers
- Definition: Whole numbers and their negatives.
- Examples: \( \ldots, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, \ldots \)
#### Natural Numbers
- Definition: Positive integers starting from 1.
- Examples: \( 1, 2, 3, 4, \ldots \)
---
- Conversion to Fractions:
- Example: Convert \( 0.\overline{3} \) to a fraction.
- Let \( x = 0.\overline{3} \).
- Then \( 10x = 3.\overline{3} \).
- Subtract: \( 10x - x = 3.\overline{3} - 0.\overline{3} \).
- \( 9x = 3 \).
- \( x = \frac{3}{9} = \frac{1}{3} \).
---
- Rules of Exponents:
- \( a^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n} \)
- \( \frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n} \)
- \( (a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n} \)
- \( a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n} \)

- Zero: Horizontal line.
- Undefined: Vertical line.
---
- Formula: \( a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \)
- \( a \) and \( b \): Legs of the right triangle
- \( c \): Hypotenuse
- Example: If \( a = 3 \) and \( b = 4 \), find \( c \).

---
- Rules for Rotations:
- 90° Counterclockwise: \( (x, y) \rightarrow (-y, x) \)
- 180° Counterclockwise: \( (x, y) \rightarrow (-x, -y) \)
- 270° Counterclockwise: \( (x, y) \rightarrow (y, -x) \)

- Left/Right: \( x \rightarrow x + h \) (left by \( h \)), \( x \rightarrow x - h \) (right by \( h \))
---
- Scale Factor \( k \):

---
- Types of Angles:
- Acute: \( 0^\circ < \theta < 90^\circ \)
- Right: \( \theta = 90^\circ \)
- Obtuse: \( 90^\circ < \theta < 180^\circ \)
