Please CLOSE YOUR LAPTOPS, and turn off and put away your cell phones, and get out your note-taking materials.
Example Section 1.6 Subtracting real numbers • Substitute the opposite of the number being subtracted • Then add • a – b = a + (-b) Subtract the following numbers. (-5) – 6 – (-3) = (-5) + (-6) + 3 = -8
More on subtracting real numbers: Example: “Subtract -5 from 8” Write the 8 FIRST, then subtract -5 FROM the 8. 8 – (-5) = 8 + 5 = 13 Example: “Decrease -8 by 15” This time you start with -8 and then subtract 15. -8 – 15 = -23 Example: -6 – (2 - 11) Do the part in parentheses first : 2 – 11 = -9 Now rewrite the problem as: -6 – (-9) = -6 + 9 = 3
Note: You may find the number line worksheets handed out at the last class session useful for completing these kinds of problems.
Evaluating algebraic expressions: Example: Evaluate x – y when x = -5 and y = 4 Plug in -5 in place of the x and 4 in place of y: -5 – 4 = -9
Section 1.7 Multiplying or dividing 2 real numbers with same sign: • Result is a positive number. • Answer is positive if it’s either a positive times a positive or a negative times a negative. Examples:
Multiplying or dividing 2 real numbers with different signs: • Result is a negative number • If multiplying more than two numbers together, count the number of negative signs: if it’s odd, the answer is negative, if it’s even, the answer is positive Examples:
Some more rules for multiplying and dividing: • If b is a real number, 0 · b = b · 0 = 0. • Multiplicative inverses or reciprocals are two numbers whose product is 1. • Quotient of any real number and 0 is undefined. • The quotient of 0 and any nonzero real number = 0.
Example If a and b are real numbers, and b 0, In other words, never write a final answer with a negative sign on the bottom. Simplify the following.
Today’s homework on 1.6 & 1.7 is due at the start of the next class period.Reminder: You should be doing this homework without using a calculator, because calculators can’t be used for Quizzes 1 or 2, Test 1 or the Gateway Quiz.
