Understanding Integer Numbers and Operations

Integers are whole numbers that include positive, negative numbers, and zero, represented on a number line. The addition of integers can be categorized based on their signs, with specific rules for same and opposite signs, while the commutative property ensures the order of addition does not affect the result. The document also includes exercises related to integer addition and subtraction.

INTEGER NUMBERS

Integers in mathematics are those that include both positive and


negative numbers, as well as zero. They are represented on the
number line so that the negatives are located to the left of zero and
the positives to the right. Integers are used to represent win and loss
situations, temperatures above and below zero, and many other
applications in everyday life and in various branches of mathematics,
such as algebra and arithmetic

The addition of integers can be of two types: if the numbers have the
same sign (positive or negative), they are added normally and the
sign is preserved. For example, \(3 + 5 = 8\) or \(-2 + (-4) = -6\). If the
numbers have opposite signs, they are subtracted and the result
takes the sign of the number of greater magnitude. For example, \(3
+ (-5) = -2\) or \(-2 + 4 = 2\). In both cases, the commutative property
of addition applies, meaning that the order of the numbers does not
alter the result.

1. What is the result of adding a positive integer to a negative


integer?
2. How is the subtraction of two integers represented on the number
line?

3. What is the only integer that is neither positive nor negative?

4. What is the property of integers that indicates that, when added,


the order of the addends does not affect the result?

5. What type of operation is performed when multiplying two


integers with opposite signs?
Exercises

4) 5 - 7
5) 4 + -3
6) -5 – 2
7) 4 + 3 – 9
