numbers
 Properties of real numbers
• Commutative property
• Associative property
• Distributive property
• Identity property

Examples
• A+B=B+A
• A+ (B + C) = (A + B) + C
• A (B+ C) = AB + AC and (A + B) C = AC + BC
• A+0=A

 How real numbers can be used in medicine?

Real numbers are used in medicine to measure physical parameters

such as blood pressure, body temperature, and cholesterol levels.
Real numbers are used to represent the level of a hormone or enzyme
in the blood, as well as to measure the effectiveness of a drug or
treatment.
For example, the normal range for blood pressure is represented by a
range of real numbers (e.g., 120/80 mmHg), and the level of
cholesterol in the blood can be measured by a real number (e.g., 200
mg/dL).
 How real numbers can be used in music?

Real numbers are used in music to describe the frequency and

amplitude of sound waves, which are used to create music. Real
numbers are used to represent the pitch of a musical note, the
volume of a sound, and the duration of a musical passage.
For example, the frequency of the note A above middle C is a real
number (approximately 440 Hz), and the amplitude of a sound
wave can be represented by a real number (measured in decibels).
Laws of Exponent
 Real life Applications of
"Law of exponent"
• Doubling a recipe: Imagine you're making a recipe that serves 4 people, but you
need to feed 8 people. To double the recipe, you can use the law of exponents by
multiplying each ingredient by 2 raised to the power of 1. For example, if the
recipe calls for 1 cup of flour, you'll need 2 cups of flour (2^1 cups).
• Saving money: If you save $10 per week, and your savings account earns 5%
interest per year, you can use the law of exponents to calculate your savings over
time. After one year, your savings will be $10 * (1.05)^1 = $10.50. After two
years, your savings will be $10 * (1.05)^2 = $11.03, and so on.
Complex numbers
 Real life Applications of
Complex numbers
• Imaginary friends: Many children have imaginary friends, which they can
imagine and interact with, but that don't really exist in the physical world.
Imaginary numbers are similar in that they don't exist in the real world, but
they can be imagined and used to solve mathematical problems.
• Graphing: Complex numbers can be used to describe points in a two-
dimensional plane, which can be helpful for graphing. For example, the
complex number (2 + 3i) represents a point that is 2 units to the right and 3
units up from the origin.
