Question 1 (30)
1.1. Explain in detail to an Intermediate Phase learner the
difference between real and non-real numbers, give two examples
for each. (8)
To help an Intermediate Phase learner understand the difference between
real and non-real numbers, we can start by explaining that real numbers
are the numbers we usually work with in everyday life, such as counting,
measuring, or using money. These numbers can be found on a number
line. Real numbers include whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and
negative numbers. They can be positive, negative, or zero.
Examples of real numbers:
1. 5 (a whole number)
2. -3.5 (a negative decimal)
Non-real numbers, also known as imaginary numbers, are numbers that
cannot be found on a standard number line. These numbers come from
the square roots of negative numbers, which don't have a real number
solution. Non-real numbers are used in more advanced mathematics,
particularly in fields like engineering and physics, but they aren't
something you'd use in everyday life.
