5.1 Integers and Absolute Value

The set of integers consists of the numbers {…, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, …}

Positive integers can be written with or without their sign. Sometimes we put a positive integer with its sign in parentheses to emphasize that it represents a positive number.

Example 1: 5 = +5 = (+5)

Negative integers must be written with their sign. We often put a the negative integer with its sign in parentheses to emphasize that it represents a negative number.

Example 2: -5 = (-5)

The absolute value of a number is its distance on the number line from zero. The absolute value of a number is always positive.

Example 3: (-6) and (+6) are both six units from zero. The absolute value of (-6) and (+6) is 6.

We write:

You can look at the absolute value of an integer as the integer after removing the sign. For example, the absolute value of -5 is 5 and the absolute value of +3 is 3.

5.2 Adding Integers

If an integer is written without its sign, that means it is a positive integer and you can write it with its positive sign to make comparing signs easier. For example, you can write 7 as (+7).

To add integers:
If they have the same sign, add their absolute values and keep the sign.

Example 4: Evaluate

Example 5: Evaluate

If they have different signs, subtract their absolute values and keep the sign of the integer with the larger absolute value

Example 6: Evaluate

Example 7: Evaluate

If adding more than two integers, group the positive and the negative integers, get a subtotal of the positive and the negative integers, and finally subtract the absolute values of the subtotals and keep the sign of the bigger

    Once negative numbers were invented, mathematicians tried to find a number that, when squared, could equal a negative one. Not finding the answer they gave up as well. In the 1500’s, some thoughts about square roots of negative numbers was brought back. Formulas for solving third and fourth degree polynomial equations were discovered, and people realized that some work with square roots of negative numbers would sometimes be required. Usually they didn’t want to work with…
