Define the real number system

Using the Number Systems knowledge point
The set of real numbers, denoted by \(\mathbb{R}\), represents all points on the continuous number line. This system is partitioned into two mutually exclusive and exhaustive subsets.

Identify the two disjoint subsets

Using the Rational Numbers and Irrational Numbers knowledge points
Every real number can be classified based on whether it can be expressed as a ratio of two integers.

• Rational Numbers: Numbers that can be written as \(\frac{a}{b}\) where \(a, b \in \mathbb{Z}\) and \(b

eq 0\).

• Irrational Numbers: Real numbers that cannot be written as a simple fraction; their decimal expansions are non-terminating and non-repeating.

Since these two sets do not overlap and together cover the entire real number line, every real number belongs to exactly one of these two categories.
