INTEGERS
ADDING INTEGERS RULES: – EXAMPLES:
– LIKE SIGNS (+)+(+) or (-)+(-) a. (9) + (-4) = 5
Add, follow the sign of the given b. 5 + 6 = 11
– UNLIKE SIGNS (+)+(-) or (-)+(+) c. (-4) + (-4) = -8
Subtract, follow the sign of the integer with the d. (-5) + (3) = -2
larger number. e. (=8) + (-6) = 2
SUBTACTING INTEGERS RULES: – EXAMPLES:
– LIKE SIGNS (+)-(+) or (-)-(-) a. (+9) – (10) c. (+9)-(-4)
– Simply subtract the two, the answer is positive = (+9) + (-10) (+9) + (-4)
= -1 = 13
– UNLIKE SIGNS (+)-(-) or (-)-(+) b. (-9) – (-10) d. (-9) - (+11)
– Change the sign of the subtrahend (second item) = (-9) + (10) = (-9) – (-11)
and proceed to add following the addition rule. =1 = 20
– EXAMPLES:
MULTIPLYING INTEGERS RULES:
a. (11) (5) = 55
– LIKE SIGNS (+)(+) or (-)(-)
b. (-5) (2) = -10
– Same sign, the product is POSITIVE
c. (3) (-4) = -12
d. (-8) (-7) ÷=
– UNLIKE SIGNS (+)(-) or (-)(+)
56
– Different sign, the product is NEGATIVE.
e. (1) (0) = 0
– Any number multiplied by 0 gives a product of 0
f. n⁰ = 1
DIVIDING INTEGERS RULES: – EXAMPLES:
– LIKE SIGNS (+)÷(+) or (-)÷(-) a. (-45) ÷ (-9) = 5
– Same sign, the quotient is POSITIVE. b. (8) ÷ (-4) = -2
c. (10) ÷ ( -5) = -2
– UNLIKE SIGNS (+)÷ (-) or (-)÷ (+) d. (36) ÷ (4) = 9
– Different sign, the quotient is NEGATIVE.
– NEGATIVE SIGN IN FRACTIONS are placed and is applied in the numerator NOT the denominator
RATIONAL NUMBERS
A number that is of the form p/q where p and q are integers and q is not equal to 0. The set of rational
p=numerator=can be 0
q=denominator =CA N Tbe 0 Standard form = Simplest form
'
numbers is denoted by q. Any fraction or ratio is rational.
Rationals can be positive or negative (INTEGERS)

TYPES OF RATIONAL NUMBERS
– EXAMPLES:
– INTEGERS - positive and negative a. 0, 1, -1, 2, -4
– FRACTIONS – p/q are integers b. 1/2, 4/7, 1/9, 1/3
– TERMINATING DECIMALS – decimals that end c. 0.3, 0.25, 7.4, 0.76
– REPEATING DECIMALS – repeats & d. 0.9 , 9.37
doesn’t end e. 10, 3, 7, 90, 740, 100
– WHOLE NUMBERS – numbers with 0 f. 1, 7, 9, 3, 5, 6
– NATURAL NUMBERS – positive integers g. √25, √121, √16, √4
– PERFECT SQUARES
IDENTIFYING RATIONALS
– A fraction of integers
– Decimal is terminating or repeating
– All whole numbers are rational
– Can be written as a fraction or ratio
CONVERTING
– FRACTION TO DECIMAL:
– EXAMPLES:
1 − 8+1 9
a. −2 4 → ( 4 ∗− 2 )=8 → 4 → − 4 →− 9 ÷ 4=2.25
12
b. → ( 12 ÷7 )=1. 714285

a. − 0.07→ hundredths place →
100

OPERATIONS on RATIONALS
ADDITION AND SUBTACTION of RATIONALS
– Make the denominator the same
1. Finding the LCD & multiplying the factor to p/q
