Meteorologists study the weather and climate. Together with geologists, they provide us with many predictions that play a part in our everyday decisions. Among the things we might look for are temperatures, rainfall, water level, and tide level. On a day with unusual weather, we often become curious about the record for that day or even the all-time record. Here are a few of those records: The record high temperature for the United States is 134 F in 1913 in Death Valley, California. The record low temperature for the U.S. is 8 F in 1971 in Prospect Creek Camp, Alaska. The greatest one day temperature drop in the U.S. happened on Christmas Eve, 1924, in Montana. The temperature went from 63 F during the day to 21 F at night. The use of negative numbers for temperatures below zero is common for such numbers, but there are many other applications. For example, the tide range in Delaware varies between 1 feet and 5 feet. We examine these and several other climaterelated applications in Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and 2.7. 119

Find the opposite of a given integer 5. Evaluate expressions involving absolute value When numbers are used to represent physical quantities (altitudes, temperatures, and amounts of money are examples), it may be necessary to distinguish between positive and negative quantities. The symbols and are used for this purpose. For instance, the altitude of Mount Whitney is 14,495 ft above sea level ( 14,495 ft). 14,495 ft Mount Whitney The altitude of Death Valley is 282 ft below sea level ( 282 ft). 282 ft Death Valley On a given day the temperature in Chicago might be 1 F below zero ( 1 F). 11 1 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 1 2 121
122 CHAPTER 2 INTEGERS AND INTRODUCTION TO ALGEBRA An account could show a gain of $1 ( 1) or a loss of $1 ( 1). These numbers suggest the need to extend the whole numbers to include both positive numbers (like 1) and negative numbers (like 282). To represent the negative numbers, we extend the number line to the left of zero and name equally spaced points. Numbers corresponding to points to the right of zero are positive numbers. They are written with a positive ( ) sign or with no sign at all. 6 and 9 are positive numbers Numbers corresponding to points to the left of zero are negative numbers. They are always written with a negative ( ) sign. 3 and 2 are negative numbers Read negative 3. The positive and negative numbers, as well as zero, are called the real numbers. Here is the number line extended to include positive and negative numbers, and zero. NOTE On the number line, we call zero the origin. Zero is neither positive nor negative 3 2 1 1 2 3 Negative numbers Positive numbers NOTE Braces { and } are used to hold a collection of numbers. We call the collection a set. The dots are called ellipses and indicate that the pattern continues. OBJECTIVE 1 The numbers used to name the points shown on the number line are called the integers. The integers consist of the natural numbers, their negatives, and the number zero. We can represent the set of integers by {..., 3, 2, 1,, 1, 2, 3,...} Example 1 Represent the integers on the number line shown. 3, 12, 8, 15, 7 15 12 7 3 8 Representing Integers on the Number Line 15 1 5 5 1 15
INTRODUCTION TO INTEGERS SECTION 2.1 123 CHECK YOURSELF 1 Represent the integers on a number line. 1, 9, 4, 11, 8, 2 15 1 5 5 1 15 2 The set of numbers on the number line is ordered. The numbers get smaller moving to the left on the number line and larger moving to the right. 4 3 2 1 1 2 3 4 When a group of numbers is written from smallest to largest, the numbers are said to be in ascending order. OBJECTIVE 2 Example 2 Ordering Integers Place each group of numbers in ascending order. (a) 9, 5, 8, 3, 7 From smallest to largest, the numbers are 8, 5, 3, 7, 9 Note that this is the order in which the numbers appear on a number line as we move from left to right. (b) 3, 2, 18, 2, 13 From smallest to largest, the numbers are 2, 13, 2, 3, 18 CHECK YOURSELF 2 Place each group of numbers in ascending order. (a) 12, 13, 15, 2, 8, 3 (b) 3, 6, 9, 3, 8 The least and greatest numbers in a group are called the extreme values. The least number is called the minimum, and the greatest number is called the maximum. OBJECTIVE 3 Example 3 Labeling Extreme Values For each group of numbers, determine the minimum and maximum values. (a) 9, 5, 8, 3, 7 From our previous ordering of these numbers, we see that 8, the least number, is the minimum, and 9, the greatest number, is the maximum. (b) 3, 2, 18, 2, 13 2 is the minimum and 18 is the maximum.
124 CHAPTER 2 INTEGERS AND INTRODUCTION TO ALGEBRA CHECK YOURSELF 3 For each group of numbers, determine the minimum and maximum values. (a) 12, 13, 15, 2, 8, 3 (b) 3, 6, 9, 3, 8 Each point on the number line corresponds to a real number.there are more points on the number line than integers. The real numbers include decimals, fractions, and other numbers. Example 4 Identifying Real Numbers that Are Integers Which of the real numbers, (a) 145, (b) 28, (c).35, and (d) 2, are also integers? 3 (a) 145 is an integer. (b) 28 is an integer. (c).35 is not an integer. (d) 2 3 is not an integer. CHECK YOURSELF 4 Which of the real numbers are also integers? 23 1,54.23 5 4 5 Sometimes we refer to the negative of a number as its opposite. For a nonzero number, this corresponds to a point the same distance from the origin as the given number, but on the other side of zero. Example 5 illustrates this. OBJECTIVE 4 Example 5 Find the Opposite of Each Number (a) 5 The opposite of 5 is 5. (b) 9 The opposite of 9 is 9. CHECK YOURSELF 5 Find the opposite of each number. (a) 17 Definition: Absolute Value (b) 12 The absolute value of a number represents the distance of the point named by the number from the origin on the number line.
INTRODUCTION TO INTEGERS SECTION 2.1 125 Because we think of distance as a positive quantity (or as zero), the absolute value of a number is never negative. 5 units 5 units 5 5 The absolute value of 5 is 5. The absolute value of 5 is also 5. As a consequence of the definition, the absolute value of a positive number or zero is itself. The absolute value of a negative number is its opposite. In symbols, we write 5 5 and 5 5 Read the absolute Read the absolute value of 5. value of negative 5. The absolute value of a number does not depend on whether the number is to the right or to the left of the origin, but on its distance from the origin. OBJECTIVE 5 Example 6 Simplifying Absolute Value Expressions (a) 7 7 (b) 7 7 (c) 7 7 This is the negative, or opposite, of the absolute value of negative 7. CHECK YOURSELF 6 Evaluate.

2.2 Addition of Integers 2.2 OBJECTIVES 1. Add two integers with the same sign 2. Add two integers with opposite signs 3. Solve applications involving integers In Section 2.1 we introduced the idea of negative numbers. Here we examine the four arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) and see how those operations are performed when integers are involved. We start by considering addition. An application may help. We will represent a gain of money as a positive number and a loss as a negative number. If you gain $3 and then gain $4, the result is a gain of $7: 3 4 7 If you lose $3 and then lose $4, the result is a loss of $7: 3 ( 4) 7 If you gain $3 and then lose $4, the result is a loss of $1: 3 ( 4) 1 If you lose $3 and then gain $4, the result is a gain of $1: 3 4 1 The number line can be used to illustrate the addition of integers. Starting at the origin, we move to the right for positive integers and to the left for negative integers. OBJECTIVE 1 Example 1 (a) Add 3 4. Adding Integers 3 4 3 7 Start at the origin and move 3 units to the right. Then move 4 more units to the right to find the sum. From the number line, we see that the sum is 3 4 7 (b) Add ( 3) ( 4). 7 4 Start at the origin and move 3 units to the left. Then move 4 more units to the left to find the sum. From the number line, we see that the sum is ( 3) ( 4) 7 3 3 132
ADDITION OF INTEGERS SECTION 2.2 133 CHECK YOURSELF 1 Add. (a) ( 4) ( 5) (c) ( 5) ( 15) (b) ( 3) ( 7) (d) ( 5) ( 3) You have probably noticed a helpful pattern in the previous example. This pattern will allow you to do the work mentally without having to use the number line. Look at the following rule. Property: Adding Integers Case 1: Same Sign NOTE This means that the sum of two positive integers is positive and the sum of two negative integers is negative. If two integers have the same sign, add their absolute values. Give the result the sign of the original integers. We can use the number line to illustrate the addition of two integers. This time the integers will have different signs. OBJECTIVE 2 Example 2 Adding Integers (a) Add 3 ( 6). 6 3 3 3 First move 3 units to the right of the origin. Then move 6 units to the left. 3 ( 6) 3 (b) Add 4 7. 7 4 4 3 This time move 4 units to the left of the origin as the first step. Then move 7 units to the right. 4 7 3 CHECK YOURSELF 2 Add. (a) 7 ( 5) (b) 4 ( 8) (c) 1 16 (d) 7 3
134 CHAPTER 2 INTEGERS AND INTRODUCTION TO ALGEBRA You have no doubt noticed that, in adding a positive integer and a negative integer, sometimes the sum is positive and sometimes it is negative. This depends on which of the integers has the larger absolute value. This leads us to the second part of our addition rule. Property: Adding Integers Case 2: Different Signs RECALL We first encountered absolute values in Section 2.1. If two integers have different signs, subtract their absolute values, the smaller from the larger. Give the result the sign of the integer with the larger absolute value. Example 3 Adding Integers (a) 7 ( 19) 12 Because the two integers have different signs, subtract the absolute values (19 7 12). The sum of 7 and 19 has the sign ( ) of the integer with the larger absolute value, 19. (b) 13 7 6 Subtract the absolute values (13 7 6). The sum of 13 and 7 has the sign ( ) of the integer with the larger absolute value, 13. CHECK YOURSELF 3 Add mentally. (a) 5 ( 14) (c) 8 15 (b) 7 ( 8) (d) 7 ( 8) NOTE The opposite of a number is also called the additive inverse of that number. In Section 1.2, we discussed the commutative, associative, and additive identity properties. There is another property of addition that we should mention. Recall that every number has an opposite. It corresponds to a point the same distance from the origin as the given number but in the opposite direction. 3 3 NOTE 3 and 3 are opposites. 3 3 The opposite of 9 is 9. The opposite of 15 is 15. NOTE Here a represents the opposite of the number a. If a is positive, a is negative. If a is negative, a is positive. The additive inverse property states that the sum of any number and its opposite is. Property: Additive Inverse Property For any number a, there exists a number a such that a ( a) ( a) a The sum of any number and its opposite, or additive inverse, is.
ADDITION OF INTEGERS SECTION 2.2 135 Example 4 Adding Integers NOTE Later, we will show that ; therefore, the opposite of is. (a) 9 ( 9) (b) 15 15 CHECK YOURSELF 4 Add. (a) ( 17) 17 (b) 12 ( 12) When solving an application of integer arithmetic, the first step is to translate the phrase or statement using integers. Example 5 illustrates this step. OBJECTIVE 3 Example 5 An Application of the Addition of Integers Shanique has $25 in her checking account. She writes a check for $12 and makes a deposit of $9. What is the resulting balance? First, translate the phrase using integers. Such problems will usually include something that is represented by negative integers and something that is represented by positive integers. In this case, a check can be represented as a negative integer and a deposit as a positive integer. We have 25 ( 12) 9 This expression can now be evaluated. 25 ( 12) 9 13 9 22 The resulting balance is $22. CHECK YOURSELF 5 Translate the problem into an integer expression and then answer the question. When Kirin awoke, the temperature was twelve degrees below zero, Fahrenheit. Over the next six hours, the temperature increased by seventeen degrees. What was the temperature at that time?

2.3 Subtraction of Integers 2.3 OBJECTIVES 1. Find the difference of two integers 2. Solve applications involving the subtraction of integers To begin our discussion of subtraction when integers are involved, we can look back at a problem using natural numbers. We know that 8 5 3 From our work in adding integers, we know that it is also true that 8 ( 5) 3 Comparing these equations, we see that the results are the same. This leads us to an important pattern. Any subtraction problem can be written as a problem in addition. Subtracting 5 is the same as adding the opposite of 5, or 5. We can write this fact as follows: 8 5 8 ( 5) 3 This leads us to the following rule for subtracting integers. Property: Subtracting Integers 1. To rewrite the subtraction problem as an addition problem: a. Change the subtraction operation to addition. b. Replace the integer being subtracted with its opposite. 2. Add the resulting integers as before. In symbols, a b a ( b) Example 1 illustrates the use of this property while subtracting.

2.4 Multiplication of Integers 2.4 OBJECTIVES 1. Find the product of two or more integers 2. Use the order of operations with integers When you first considered multiplication in arithmetic, it was thought of as repeated addition. Now we look at what our work with the addition of integers can tell us about multiplication when integers are involved. For example, 3 4 4 4 4 12 We interpret multiplication as repeated addition to find the product, 12. Now, consider the product (3)( 4): (3)( 4) ( 4) ( 4) ( 4) 12 Looking at this product suggests the first portion of our rule for multiplying integers. The product of a positive integer and a negative integer is negative. Property: Multiplying Integers Case 1: Different Signs The product of two integers with different signs is negative. To use this rule in multiplying two integers with different signs, multiply their absolute values and attach a negative sign. OBJECTIVE 1 Example 1 Multiplying Integers Multiply. (a) (5)( 6) 3 (b) (c) The product is negative. ( 1)(1) 1 (8)( 12) 96 CHECK YOURSELF 1 Multiply. (a) ( 7)(5) (b) ( 12)(9) (c) ( 15)(8) 145
146 CHAPTER 2 INTEGERS AND INTRODUCTION TO ALGEBRA The product of two negative integers is harder to visualize. The following pattern may help you see how we can determine the sign of the product. (3)( 2) 6 (2)( 2) 4 NOTE This number is decreasing by 1. (1)( 2) 2 ()( 2) Do you see that the product is increasing by 2 each time as you go down? NOTE ( 1)( 2) is the opposite of 2. ( 1)( 2) 2 What should the product ( 2)( 2) be? Continuing the pattern shown, we see that ( 2)( 2) 4 This suggests that the product of two negative integers is positive, which is the case. We can extend our multiplication rule. Property: Multiplying Integers Case 2: Same Sign The product of two integers with the same sign is positive. Example 2 Multiplying Integers Multiply. (a) 9 # 7 63 The product of two positive numbers (same sign, ) is positive. (b) ( 8)( 5) 4 The product of two negative numbers (same sign, ) is positive. CHECK YOURSELF 2 Multiply.

2.5 Division of Integers 2.5 OBJECTIVES 1. Find the quotient of two integers 2. Use the order of operations with integers You know from your work in arithmetic that multiplication and division are related operations. We can use that fact, and our work of Section 2.4, to determine rules for the division of integers. Every division problem can be stated as an equivalent multiplication problem. For instance, 15 5 3 24 6 4 3 5 6 because because because 15 5 # 3 24 (6)( 4) 3 ( 5)(6) These examples illustrate that because the two operations are related, the rule of signs that we stated in Section 2.4 for multiplication is also true for division. Property: Dividing Integers 1. The quotient of two integers with different signs is negative. 2. The quotient of two integers with the same sign is positive. Again, the rule is easy to use. To divide two integers, divide their absolute values. Then attach the proper sign according to the rule. OBJECTIVE 1 Example 1 Dividing Integers Divide. (a) Positive 28 4 Positive Positive 7 (b) Negative 36 9 Negative 4 Positive (c) Negative 42 6 Positive 7 Negative (d) Positive 75 25 Negative 3 Negative 151

(a) (c) 55 11 48 8 (b) (d) 8 2 144 12 As discussed in Section 1.6, we must be very careful when is involved in a division problem. Remember that divided by any nonzero number is just. This rule can be extended to include integers, so that 7 because ( 7)() However, if zero is the divisor, we have a special problem. Consider 9? This means that 9?. Can times a number ever be 9? No, so there is no solution. 9 Because cannot be replaced by any number, we agree that division by is not allowed. We say that division by is undefined. Example 2 Dividing Integers Divide, if possible. (a) 7 is undefined. (b) 9 is undefined. (c) 5 (d) 8 Note: The expression is called an indeterminate form. You will learn more about this in later mathematics classes.
DIVISION OF INTEGERS SECTION 2.5 153 CHECK YOURSELF 2 Divide, if possible. 5 7 (a) (b) (c) (d) 3 9 The fraction bar, like parentheses and the absolute value bars, serves as a grouping symbol. This means that all operations in the numerator and denominator should be performed separately. Then the division is done as the last step. Example 3 illustrates this property. OBJECTIVE 2 Example 3 Using Order of Operations Evaluate each expression. (a) ( 6)( 7) 3 42 3 14 Multiply in the numerator, then divide. (b) 3 ( 12) 3 9 3 3 Add in the numerator, then divide.
