Here, continuous means that values can have arbitrarily small variations. Every real number can be almost uniquely represented by an infinite decimal … See more
Basic properties
• The real numbers include zero (0), the additive identity: adding 0 to any real number leaves that number unchanged: x + 0 = 0 + x = x.
