Brief Introduction:
There are many uses of integers in our daily life such as helping in the computation
of the efficiency in positive or negative numbers in almost every field. In addition, they
help to see the location where one is standing. And most importantly, it helps to
compute how more or fewer measures to be taken for achieving better results.
Integer is a Latin word that means whole. An integer may include a set of whole
numbers such as zero, positive number and negative number. Integers, do not
include decimals, percents, and fractions.
Positive Numbers
These are numbers that have a plus (+) sign on them. We can see these numbers
on the right of zero (0). Usually, a number without any sign is also considered a positive
number.

Negative Numbers
A negative number is the opposite of a positive number. It is written with a (-) sign.
Negative numbers can be seen on the left of a zero on a number line.
Zero
A number that is neither positive nor negative. It can be seen at the center of the
number line and is a neutral number.
Remember these:
✓ Every positive number is greater than its negative counterpart and zero.
Example, 6 is greater than -6.
✓ Every negative number is less than its positive counterparts.
Example, -8 is less than8.
https://www.toppr.com/guides/maths/integers/basics-of-integers/

All positive numbers, negative numbers, and zero can be put on number line.
The following is a number line showing integers from -11 to 11. However, the
arrows at both ends show that the numbers do not stop after 11 or -11 but the pattern
continues.

Opposite numbers are located at the same distance from zero.

For instance, 3 and -3 are opposites numbers because they are both 3 units away
from zero.
3 units on the right of
zero

3 units on the left of

zero

5
 Mathematics 6

The same with 45 and -45 are opposites.

Absolute value is the distance a number is from zero. It is often misunderstood by
many. Always remember it as a distance.

For example, the absolute value of 4 is 4 because the distance from 0 to 4 is 4.

The absolute value of -7 is 7 because the distance from 0 to -7 is 7.

Usually, we use the following notation: |4| and |-7|.

|4| is read " the absolute value of 4 "

|-7| is read " the absolute value of -7 "

So, |4|= 4 and |-7|= 7

Notice that the absolute value of a number is always positive.
Integers are used to represent situations that whole numbers cannot represent
mathematically. The following real-life situations make use of integers:
• Depositing money to a savings account – Positive Integer
• Withdrawing money from a savings account – Negative Integer
• Wins when playing basketball – Positive Integer
• Losses when playing basketball – Negative Integer
In basketball, for example, a win of 10 games on the first play can be written as
+10 games or just 10. However, a lost of 6 yards on the second play can be written as
-6.

2. 5 7. -12

5. -8 10. -I100I

Remember
An integer may comprise a set of whole numbers that include zero,
positive number and negative number.
The numbers which have a plus (+) sign on them are called positive
numbers. These numbers are present on the right of zero or above zero (0).
A negative number is a contradiction of a positive number. It is written
with a (-) sign. Negative numbers are present on the left of zero or below zero
(0) on a number line
A number that neither a positive nor a negative is a zero.

Sunday’s Best
It was Sunday, so Cherry’s family went to church. After spending few hours
in the church, they decided to bond together and went to the mall. When they reached
the mall, their father decided to withdraw Ᵽ5, 000.00 to be spent for his family.
Afterwards, they rode the elevator and went up to the 3 rd floor to visit the department
store and buy new children’s clothes. Finally, they ate at Kenzo’s favourite fast food
chain, and then went home. Cherry and his little brother, Kenzo, were joyful for having
their Sunday well spent.

1. Where did Cherry’s family go before the mall?
2. How much did their father withdraw to be spent for the whole family?
