  1. Adding and Subtracting Real Numbers objectives • Add two numbers with the same sign. • Add two numbers with different sign. • Use the definition of subtraction. • Use the rules for order of operations with real numbers. • Translate words and phrases involving addition and subtraction. • Use signed numbers to interpret data.

  2. Objective 1 Add two numbers with the same sign Add the numbers. If both are positive, the sum is positive; if both are negative, the sum is negative. Add two positive numbers: 3+6= +3 +6 Add two negative numbers: -3 + (-6)= - 3 - 6

  3. Objective 2Add two numbers with the different sign Use a number line to find . –5 +8 Find the absolute values of the numbers and subtract the lesser absolute value from the grater. Give the answer the same sign as the number having the grater absolute value Example 3 Step 1Draw an arrow from 0 to 8. Step 2Then draw a second arrow 5 units to the left to represent adding –5. Step 3The second arrow ends at the sum 3. Answer:

  4. Objective 2 Add two numbers with the different sign Find the sum . Example 2-1a Find the absolute values of the numbers and subtract the lesser absolute value from the grater. Give the answer the same sign as the number having the grater absolute value. Example 4 Example 3 Find the sum . The sum will be positive , since Answer . The sum will be negative , since .

  5. Find . Adding Mentally Example 2-2a Find Find Find Find Find

  6. Objective 3 Subtracting real numbers To subtract signed numbers, add the opposite. (A.T.O.) and use the rules of addition. 6 + (-3) = 6 – (+3) = 6 + (+3) = 6 – (-3) = -8 + (-2) = -8 – (+2) = -30 + (+50) = -30 – (-50) =

  7. Mental Math. Find each difference

  8. Objective 4 Use the rules for order of operations with real numbers

  9. Objective 5 Translate words and phrases involving addition and subtraction g

  10. EXAMPLE 10 Solving a Problem Involving Subtraction The highest Fahrenheit temperature ever recorded in Barrow, Alaska, was 79°F, while the lowest was −56°F. What is difference between these highest and lowest temperatures? (Source: World AlmanacandBook of Facts.) Solution: Slide 1.5-25

  11. Refer to Figure 17 and use a signed number to represent the change in the CPI from 2002 to 2003. Objective 6 Use signed numbers to interpret data EXAMPLE 11 Using a Signed Number to Interpret Data Solution: Slide 1.5-27

  12. Multiplying and dividing Real Numbers. Vocabulary: multiplicative inverse reciprocal What you’ll learn To find products and quotients of real numbers.

  13. Multiplication of real numbers The product of two numbers having the same sign is positive. The product of two numbers having different sign is negative.

  14. Multiply Rational Numbers Multiplying rational numbers is similar to multiplying integers. Example: Example: Simplify by 3 Simplify by 3 Simplify by 2

  15. Evaluate expressions that contain rational numbers Evaluate if

  16. Multiplicative property of -1 The product of any number and -1 is its called additive inverse. For any number a, -1( a ) = a( -1 ) = - a Example:

  17. Division of real numbers The quotient of two numbers having the same sign is positive. The quotient of two numbers having different sign is negative.

  18. Simplify before dividing The fraction bar is a grouping symbol Example: Simplify the expression

  19. Dividing Rational Numbers The sign rules for division with integers also apply to division with rational numbers. Remember that to divide by any nonzero number, multiply by the reciprocal of that number Example: Invert the denominator then multiply

  20. Dividing Rational Numbers Example: Evaluate expressions that contain rational numbers if Evaluate
