EXAMPLE 3 Order rational numbers ASTRONOMY A star’s color index is a measure of the temperature of the star. The greater the color index, the cooler the star. Order the stars in the table from hottest to coolest. SOLUTION Begin by graphing the numbers on a number line.
ANSWER From hottest to coolest, the stars are Shaula, Rigel, Denebola, and Arneb. EXAMPLE 3 Order rational numbers Read the numbers from left to right:– 0.22, – 0.03, 0.09, 0.21.

b.Ifa = ,then – a = – . 3 3 4 4 EXAMPLE 4 Find opposites of numbers a. Ifa=– 2.5, then –a=–(–2.5) =2.5.
2 2 2 2 a.Ifa = – , then| a|= |– | = – (– )= 3 3 3 3 EXAMPLE 5 Find absolute values of numbers b.Ifa= 3.2,then|a|=|3.2|= 3.2.
EXAMPLE 6 Analyze a conditional statement Identify the hypothesis and the conclusion of the statement “If a number is a rational number, then the number is an integer.” Tell whether the statement is true or false. If it is false, give a counterexample. SOLUTION Hypothesis: a number is a rational number Conclusion: the number is an integer The statement is false. The number 0.5 is a counterexample, because 0.5 is a rational number but not an integer.
ANSWER – 5.3, 5.3 for Example 4, 5 and 6 GUIDED PRACTICE For the given value of a, find –aand |a|. 8. a = 5.3
ANSWER 4 4 4 9 9 9 – 10. a = 7, 7 ANSWER , for Example 4, 5 and 6 GUIDED PRACTICE 9. a = – 7
ANSWER Hypothesis: a number is a rational number for Example 4, 5 and 6 GUIDED PRACTICE Identify the hypothesis and the conclusion of the statement. Tell whether the statement is true or false. If it is the false, give a counterexample. 11. If a number is a rational number, then the number is positive Conclusion: the number is positive –false The number –1 is a counterexample, because –1 is a rational number but not positive.
12. If the absolute value of a number is a positive, then the number is positive. ANSWER Hypothesis: the absolute value of a number is positive for Example 4, 5 and 6 GUIDED PRACTICE Conclusion: the number is positive –false The number –2 is a counterexample, because the absolute value of –2 is 2, but –2 isnegative.
