Here's a breakdown of the different components of
the real number system:
1. Natural Numbers (N): These are the counting numbers that begin
from 1 and go on infinitely: 1, 2, 3, 4, ...
2. Whole Numbers (W): These are similar to natural numbers, but
they also include zero: 0, 1, 2, 3, ...
3. Integers (Z): Integers are the set of all positive and negative
whole numbers, including zero: ..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...
4. Rational Numbers (Q): Rational numbers are those that can be
expressed as fractions, where the numerator and denominator are
integers and the denominator is not zero. Examples include 1221,
−34−43, 5115.

✓Interval notation is a way of representing a range of
values on the real number line using brackets and
parentheses.
✓There are four main types of intervals: open intervals,
closed intervals, half-open intervals, and unbounded
intervals.
