The Positive Integers are the whole numbers greater than zero: {1, 2, 3, …}. Zero is neither positive nor negative. In, algebra, it is necessary for us to be familiar with the various terms that are used to classify different types of Real Numbers: The Natural Numbers is the set of numbers we can use to count things: {1, 2, 3, 4, …}. It does not include zero or negative numbers. The three dots indicates that the list continues forever (there is no last element). The Whole Numbers are the nonnegative numbers, including zero: {0, 1, 2, 4, 5, …} Integers The Integers are negative integers, zero, and positive integers: {…, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, …} which is shown below on the number line. 01254376-4-3-2-5 Next Slide

2. 1.1 Operations with Integers BobsMathClass.Com Copyright © 2010 All Rights Reserved. 2 Inequalities Greater than: If a number is to the right of another number then it is greater than (>) the other number. Less than: If a number is to the left of another number, then it is less than (<) the other number. Note: The inequality symbol must always point toward the smaller number. Example 1a: i.) 6 > 4 6 is greater than 4 ii.) 8 < 12 8 is less than 12 iii.) –9 > –16 –9 is greater than –16. (–9 is to the right of –16.) We could also say that the inequality symbol opens up to the larger number. In part iii.) above, -9 is the larger number. Would you rather owe $9 or owe $16? You would probably rather owe the $9.

The symbol for absolute value is | |. Note: distance is a positive number. Example 1d:,, When negative sign precedes absolute value; Find absolute value; write inside parenthesis. Evaluate opposite. Examples 1e: Note: When evaluating absolute values, the sign of the answer will always be the sign in front of the parentheses. Next Slide

5. 1.1 Operations with Integers BobsMathClass.Com Copyright © 2010 All Rights Reserved. 5 19 Adding Integers Procedure: To add two numbers: If signs are like: Add the numbers as in arithmetic (add their absolute values), and then attach their common sign to the answer. If signs unlike: Subtract the numbers as in arithmetic (subtract their absolute values; you may have to mentally reverse the numbers so that the larger absolute value is first); attach the sign to the answer of the number with the larger absolute value. The following chart may be useful. 1 st sign 2 nd sign operation resulting sign ++ + + – – – – addition + – subtraction keep sign of larger # (w/ larger abs. value). Example 2. Add the following: b) –7 + (–12) a) 7 + 12 c) –7 + 12 d) 7 + (–12) “same signs: add, keep the sign.” “different signs, subtract, keep the sign of the larger.” –5 –19 5 Your Turn Problem #2 Add the following: b) –20 + (–10)d) 79 + 86c) –14 + 18a) 12 + (–45) Answers:b) –30d) 165c) 4a) –33

9. 1.1 Operations with Integers BobsMathClass.Com Copyright © 2010 All Rights Reserved. 9 Example 6.Mt. Korabi in Albania has an elevation of 3100 meters and Death Valley in the United States has an elevation of  86 meters. Find the difference in elevation between Mt. Korabi and Death Valley. Solution: Mt. Korabi = 3100 meters Death Valley =  86 meters We want the difference in elevation. Difference means to subtract. Remember to keep the sign of the 86. Let D = the difference in elevation. D = 3100  (  86) = 3100 + 86 Mrs. Lazzara has a checking account with Bank of America. The statement she received in May showed an account balance of $4875.

Method 1: Find the product of the first two factors using procedures above; then multiply it by the third factor; then multiply its product by the fourth factor, etc. Method 2: Find the sum of the number of negative factors in the problem. If that sum is even, then the product to the problem will be + ; if that sum is odd, then the product to the problem will be . Multiply the factors without regard to the signs. Attach the sign determined from counting the number of negatives to the product. Example 8. Multiply the following: b) (–4)(–1)(–2)(–2)(3)a) (–2)(3)(–2)(–8) Answers: b) –48a) 30 –96 (three negatives= –) 48 (four negatives= +) Your Turn Problem #8 Multiply the following: b) (–2)(3)(–2)(4)(–1)a) (–1)(–5)(–3)(–2)
