NCERT Grade 8 || CBSE Class 8 - Rational Numbers Introduction in Tamil

Rational numbers Introduction

In Mathematics, we frequently come across simple equations to be solved. For example,
the equation x + 2 = 13 (1)
is solved when x = 11, because this value of x satisfies the given equation. The solution
11 is a natural number. On the other hand, for the equation
x + 5 = 5 (2)
the solution gives the whole number 0 (zero). If we consider only natural numbers,
equation (2) cannot be solved. To solve equations like (2), we added the number zero to
the collection of natural numbers and obtained the whole numbers. Even whole numbers
will not be sufficient to solve equations of type
x + 18 = 5 (3)
Do you see ‘why’? We require the number –13 which is not a whole number. This
led us to think of integers, (positive and negative). Note that the positive integers
correspond to natural numbers. One may think that we have enough numbers to solve all
simple equations with the available list of integers. Now consider the equations
2x = 3 (4)
5x + 7 = 0 (5)
for which we cannot find a solution from the integers. (Check this)
We need the numbers
3/2
to solve equation (4) and
-7/5

to solve
equation (5). This leads us to the collection of rational numbers.
We have already seen basic operations on rational
numbers. We now try to explore some properties of operations
on the different types of numbers seen so far.

THANK YOU SO MUCH MAM.YOUR TEACHING IS MOST BETTER THAN OUR SCHOOL'S...

[umaloges]

Mam thank you so much ... In 7th annual exam I got good marks.. because of your teaching. Now I have been promoted to 8th I am continually watching your videos. I have much improved. Once again thank you so much mam 😊

[qcmail]

yes mam i dont like maths . but when iam seeing ur vedio it is helup ful so i like maths. sour teaching maths know mam.pls put gaming t vedio mam

[prathikav]

In commutative property we are adding the numbers it is equal.
If suppose it is not equal what to do? Mam

[saraswathi]

Mam now only I come to 8 standard l was there 7 summer holidays my mom told me that you want to see 8 standard books and i see in video channel good effort 8 was so enterst mam

Tmrw is my exam I can understand all ur viedoes thank u

[s.gowthamis.gowthami]

Mam all the one example have means its to nice but thanks mam😊😊😊

[martinsabeena]

Mam reciprocal -8/5 change to -5/8 ? Dought mam.

[Ningning]

I am in new grade but thank you for helping me mam ❤

[sureshau]

Man because of you only I get full marks in my annual exam thank you so much man🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
