2.1 integers & rational numbers

Chapter 2Properties of Real Numbers

In this chapter, you will learn to work with the REALS – a set of numbers that include both positive and negative numbers, decimals, fractions, and more. Learn to identify SETS of Numbers We’ll look at all four operations and learn the number properties for each. Find square roots of given numbers

Using Integers andRational Numbers Section 2.1 P. 64 - 70

Natural or Counting Numbers { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, . . .} Whole numbers {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, . . .} Integers { . . . -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, . . .} Rationals: a number a/b, where a & b are integers and b is not zero. Includes all terminating and repeating decimals.

Two points that are the same distance from the origin but on opposite sides (of the origin) are opposites. Name some opposites on this #-line -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4

The expression “ -3” can be stated as “negative three” or “the opposite of three” How should you read “-a” ? Why? Does zero have an opposite? - (-4) = _____ - [ -(-5)] = _____

for Examples 2 and 3 GUIDED PRACTICE Tell whether each numbers in the list is a whole number, an integer, or a rational number.Then order the numbers from least list to greatest. 4. 3, –1.2, –2,0

ANSWER –2, –1.2, 0, 3. (Ordered the numbers from least to greatest). for Examples 2 and 3 GUIDED PRACTICE

ANSWER On the number line,– 3is to the right of– 4.So, –3 > – 4. EXAMPLE 1 Graph and compare integers Graph– 3and– 4on a number line. Then tell which number is greater. learn classify rational numbers into different sets; Also TSW be able to compare rational numbers (including absolute value

–1 –6 – 6 – 5 – 4 – 3 – 2 – 1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 ANSWER On the number line,–1 is to the right of–6.So, –1 > –6. for Example 1 GUIDED PRACTICE 3.–6and–1 learn classify rational numbers into different sets; alsoTSW be able to compare rational numbers (including absolute value

EXAMPLE 3 Order rational numbers ASTRONOMY A star’s color index is a measure of the temperature of the star. The greater the color index, the cooler the star. Order the stars in the table from hottest to coolest. SOLUTION Begin by graphing the numbers on a number line.

ANSWER From hottest to coolest, the stars are Shaula, Rigel, Denebola, and Arneb. learn classify rational numbers into different sets; alsoTSW be able to compare rational numbers (including absolute value EXAMPLE 3 Read the numbers from left to right:– 0.22, – 0.03, 0.09, 0.21.

Absolute Value The absolute value of a real number is the distance between the origin and the point representing the number. The symbol| a | represents the absolute value of a. The absolute value of a number is never negative.

If a is a positive number, then | a| = a If a is zero, then |a | = 0 If a is a negative #, then | a | = -a Examples: | 6 | = _______ | 0 | = _______ | -5 | = _______ learn classify rational numbers into different sets; alsoTSW be able to compare rational numbers (including absolute value

Simplify: - | -8 | = _____ - | 5 | = ______ - ( -5) = ______ - ( 0 ) = _____ learn classify rational numbers into different sets; TSW be able to compare rational numbers (including absolute value

a.Ifa = – , then|a|= || = – ()= 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 EXAMPLE 5 Find absolute values of numbers b.Ifa= 3.2,then|a|=|3.2|= 3.2. learn classify rational numbers into different sets; TSW be able to compare rational numbers (including absolute value

for Example 4, 5 and 6 GUIDED PRACTICE For the given value of a, find –a and |a|. 8. a = 5.3 SOLUTION If a = 5.3, then –a = – (5.3) = |a| = |5.3| =

A conditional statement has a hypothesis and a conclusion. An if-then statement is a form of a conditional statement. The “if” is the hypothesis, the “then” is the conclusion. A counterexample– proving it is false with just one example.
