INTEGER CHEAT SHEET Integers - A set of positive and negative whole num bers. They can be represented on a num ber line. THE NUMBER LINE NEGATIVE NUMBERS POSITIVE NUMBERS Absolute Value- The distance a number is from zero on the number line. An absolute value is never negative. Examples: l -5 l = 5 and l5l ADDING INTEGERS SAME SIG N- Add and Keep the Sign! Add the absolute value of the numbers and keep the same sign. =5 SUBTRACTING INTEGERS Do not s ub tr ac t in teg ers . You m u s t ch an ge th e s ig ns : “Ad d th e O ppo site” KEE P- Keep the sign of the first number (positive) + (positive) = Positive (+4) + (+5) = +9 (negative) + (negative) = Negative (-4) + (-5) = -9 DI FF ER ENT SI GNS - Subtract and Keep the Sign of the Bigger Number! Subtract the absolute value of the numbers and keep the sign of the bigger number. CHAN GE- Change the subtraction sign to addition CHAN GE- Change the sign of the second number to the opposite sign. If it is positive- change to negative. If it is negative- change to positive. (+4) – (-4) Keep change change (+4) + (+4) (-4) + (+5) = +1 (+4) + (-5) = -1 NOW U S E T HE RU LES FO R ADDI NG: SAME SIGN- Add absolute values and keep sign: (+4) + (+4) = 8 MULTPLYI NG INTEGERS DIVIDING INTEGERS SAME SIG NS - P OSIT IVE Multiply the numbers. Answer will be positive. SAME SIG NS - P OSIT IVE Divide the numbers. Answer will be positive. (-5) !!! (-5) = +25 (-5) !! (-5) = +1 DI FF ER ENT SI GNS - NEG AT IVE Multiply the numbers. Answer will be negative DI FF ER ENT SI GNS - NEG AT IVE Divide the numbers. Answer will be negative (+5) !!! (-5) = -25 (+5) !!!!(-5) = -1
