Complete Number System Notes with Formulas
1. What is a Number System?
A Number System is a way to represent numbers using symbols and rules. It allows us to perform operations
like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
2. Types of Number Systems
- Decimal (Base 10): Uses digits 0-9
- Binary (Base 2): Uses digits 0, 1
- Octal (Base 8): Uses digits 0-7
- Hexadecimal (Base 16): Uses digits 0-9, A-F
3. Types of Numbers in Mathematics
- Natural Numbers (): 1, 2, 3, ...
- Whole Numbers (): 0, 1, 2, ...
- Integers (): ..., -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, ...
- Rational Numbers (): p/q form, q0
- Irrational Numbers: 2,
- Real Numbers (): Rational + Irrational
- Imaginary Numbers: -1 = i
- Complex Numbers (): a + bi
4. Properties of Number System
- Closure: Real + Real = Real
- Commutative: a + b = b + a
- Associative: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c)
- Distributive: a(b + c) = ab + ac
- Identity: a + 0 = a, a 1 = a
5. Number System Conversions
Complete Number System Notes with Formulas
- Decimal to Binary: Divide by 2, reverse remainders
- Binary to Decimal: Multiply each bit by powers of 2
- Decimal to Other Bases: Divide by base, reverse
6. Standard Form
- a 10^n, where 1 a < 10
Example: 32500 = 3.25 10^4
7. Surds and Indices
Laws of Exponents:
1. a^m a^n = a^(m+n)
2. a^m / a^n = a^(mn)
3. (a^m)^n = a^(mn)
4. a^0 = 1
5. a^n = 1/a^n
8. Complex Numbers
i = -1
i^2 = -1, i^3 = -i, i^4 = 1 (cycle repeats every 4 powers)
9. Modulus / Absolute Value
|a| = a if a 0, -a if a < 0
Example: |5| = 5
10. Important Formulas
(a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2
(a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2
(a + b)^3 = a^3 + 3a^2b + 3ab^2 + b^3
Complete Number System Notes with Formulas
(a - b)^3 = a^3 - 3a^2b + 3ab^2 - b^3
a^3 + b^3 = (a + b)(a^2 - ab + b^2)
a^3 - b^3 = (a - b)(a^2 + ab + b^2)
