What are integers?

Integers are whole numbers (both positive and negative) and zero that do not have any fractional or decimal parts. They include numbers like -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on, and are used in mathematics to represent quantities in a discrete manner.

How are positive and negative numbers represented on a number line?

Positive numbers are represented to the right of zero on a number line, whereas negative numbers are represented to the left of zero. Zero serves as the point of origin or the midpoint on the number line, separating positive and negative numbers. The further a number is from zero, the larger its absolute value. Positive numbers increase as we move to the right on the number line, while negative numbers decrease as we move to the left.

How do you move up and down the number line when adding and subtracting integers?

When adding integers, moving up the number line is done by counting to the right or adding a positive integer. Moving down the number line is done by counting to the left or adding a negative integer. For subtraction, moving up the number line is done by counting to the left or subtracting a positive integer, whereas moving down the number line is done by counting to the right or subtracting a negative integer. Remember that adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive, and subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive on the number line.

What is the rule for multiplying positive and negative integers?

When multiplying positive and negative integers, the result will be negative. If you multiply a positive integer with a negative integer, the product will be negative. Similarly, if you multiply a negative integer with another negative integer, the product will be positive.

How do you compare integers using the greater than and less than symbols?

To compare integers using the greater than symbol (>), you place the larger integer on the left side of the symbol and the smaller integer on the right side. For example, 5 > 3 is read as "5 is greater than 3." Conversely, to compare using the less than symbol (<), you do the opposite by placing the smaller integer on the left side and the larger integer on the right side. For example, 2 < 7 is read as "2 is less than 7.

What is the absolute value of an integer?

The absolute value of an integer is the numerical value of the integer without regard to its sign. This means that the absolute value is always positive, so whether the integer is positive or negative, its absolute value will be the positive value of the number.

How do you find the opposite of an integer?

To find the opposite of an integer, you simply change the sign of the integer. For example, the opposite of 5 is -5, and the opposite of -7 is 7.

How can you use addition and subtraction to solve real-life integer problems?

You can use addition and subtraction to solve real-life integer problems by keeping track of quantities being added or removed. For example, if you are managing a budget and need to track expenses, you can use addition to add up expenses and subtraction to deduct expenses from your total budget. This approach helps you understand how much money you have left or if you have overspent, aiding in making informed financial decisions. Similarly, in situations involving changes in temperature, elevation, or inventory, you can employ addition and subtraction to determine the final result accurately.

What are the steps to solve a word problem involving integers?

To solve a word problem involving integers, first carefully read the problem to understand the information provided. Identify what operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) is necessary to solve the problem. Map out the information using variables if needed, then create an equation or inequality based on the given information. Solve the equation or inequality by performing the necessary operations step by step. Finally, interpret the solution in the context of the original problem to ensure it makes sense and answers the question asked.

How do you recognize patterns and relationships when working with integers?

When working with integers, recognizing patterns and relationships involves looking for common characteristics such as repeating sequences, trends in the values, and the behavior of operations on integers. By observing how integers change as they are added, subtracted, multiplied, or divided, patterns can emerge. Additionally, analyzing factors, multiples, prime numbers, and even properties like symmetry or divisibility can help identify connections between different integers. Practicing with various integer problems and exploring different number patterns can enhance the ability to recognize and understand relationships between integers effectively.
