Applications of this chapter There are numerous numbers directly or indirectly connected to our lives. Some of their applications in real life are in engineering, budget calculation, shopping, baking and recipes, weight measurement, use of lifts or elevators, ways of telling the time, temperature measurement, etc. The temperature in some deserts is very high during the day and very low at night. The average temperature in most deserts reaches 38ºC during the day. Whereas in some deserts, the temperature decreases to – 4ºC at night. This temperature varies depending on the locations of the deserts. Why do some deserts have high temperatures during the day and low temperatures at night?

3 Integers CHAPTER 1 1.1 Integers In our daily lives, we often come across numbers with the plus sign ‘+’ or the minus sign ‘–’. We use them to represent quantities with opposite directions or meanings. The concept of owing money can be expressed as a number less than zero or a negative number. For example, Chris borrows $10 from his mother. The number of dollars that Chris owes his mother is –$10. Negative numbers are also often used to describe temperatures. The temperature –5°C is ‘negative five degrees’ and it means 5 degrees below zero. The bank statement shows that Chris had withdrawn more than he had deposited so he was $100 in the red. He had –$100 or he owed the bank $100. The screen shows data about the financial crisis because of the Coronavirus disease. What other uses of integers do you know?

For example, –7, –4, 0, 3, 5 and 8 are integers. A positive integer is a whole number with or without a positive (+) sign. For example, +1, +8, 9, 12. A negative integer is a whole number with a negative (–) sign. For example, –3, –5, –10, –42. ©Praxis Publishing_Focus On Maths

Solution: (a) Positive seventy-two (b) –56 EXAMPLE 2 – 4, 3 5, +3.5, 6, +90, 1 1 2 State the integers from the list. Solution: The integers are –4, 6 and +90. Set of integers, Z = {... , –3, –2, –1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...} Z+ = {1, 2, 3, ...} Z– = {–1, –2, –3, ...} 0 is also called the neutral integer. Hence N Z. B Recognise positive and negative numbers We usually use positive and negative numbers in our daily life. A positive number is a number that is greater than 0. A positive number is written with or without the (+) sign. For example, +1, +3.5, + 1 2 or 1, 3.5, 1 2 are positive numbers. A negative number is a number that is less than 0. A negative number is written with (–) sign. For example, –1, – 3.5, – 1 2 are negative numbers. The situations that can be represented by positive and negative numbers: The movement to the north is represented by a positive number and the movement to the south is represented by a negative number. For example, if 8 km to the north is represented by +8 km, 10 km to the south is represented by –10 km. The upward movement is represented by a positive number and the downward movement is represented by a negative number. For example, 36 m above sea level is written as +36 m. 50 m below sea level is written as –50 m. The temperature that is higher than 0°C is represented by a positive number and the temperature that is lower than 0°C is represented by a negative number. For example, 8°C above 0°C is written as +8°C 5°C above 0°C is written as –5°C We must read the sign in front of an integer first before the number. For example, +5 or 5 is read as ‘positive five’ or ‘five’. –23 is read as ‘negative twenty-three’. Zero Integers ..., –3, –2, –1, 0, 1, 2, 3,...

5 Integers CHAPTER 1 Profit is represented by a positive number and loss is represented by a negative number. The increase in the price is represented by a positive number and the decrease in the price is represented by a negative number. For example, the price of an egg increased by 2 cents can be written as +2 cents. The price of an egg decreased by 1 cent can be written as –1 cent. EXAMPLE 3 Represent each of the following by using a positive number or a negative number. (a) A loss of $750. (b) The price of a packet of Nasi Lemak has increased by 50 cents. (c) Price of share market of Company P has increased by $2.10 within 1 month. Solution: (a) – $750 (b) +50 cents (c) +$2.10 EXAMPLE 4 Complete the following sentences. (a) 400 m to the right is written as +400. Thus, 250 m to the left is written as . (b) 56 km to the west is written as –56. Thus, 65 km to the east is written as . (c) 35 m above the sea level is written as 35 m. Thus, 12 m below the sea level is written as . Solution: (a) – 250 (b) +65 or 65 (c) –12 Discuss with your classmates, how did you decide to use a positive number or a negative number? What clues did you look for to help you decide?

(a) 32 + 15 = 15 + (b) [13 + (–6)] + 3 = 13 + ( + 3) Solution: (a) 32 + 15 = 15 + 32 (commutative property of addition) (b) [13 + (–6)] + 3 = 13 + ( –6 + 3) (associative property of addition) EXAMPLE 13 The initial temperature of a cold storage was –2°C. Two hours later, the temperature dropped by 3°C. When the cold storage was switched off, the temperature rose by 7°C. What was the new temperature of the cold storage? Solution: –2 + (–3) + 7 = 2 –5 –4 –3 –2 –3 +7 –1 0 1 2 2 1 Therefore, the new temperature of the cold storage was 2°C. B Properties of addition (I) Commutative property of addition This rule says that we can add two numbers in any order. For example, 38 + 16 = 16 + 38 –12 + 10 = 10 + (–12) (II) Associative property of addition Here it says that we can group numbers in a sum in any way we want and still get the same answer. For example, (3 + 10) + 6 = 3 + (10 + 6) (–4 + 8) + 2 = –4 + (8 + 2) a + b = b + a (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) ©Praxis Publishing_Focus On Maths
13 Integers CHAPTER 1 C Subtraction of integers Subtraction of integers is a process of finding the difference between two integers. The difference between two integers is the number of steps required to move from the second integer to reach the first integer on a number line. • If you move to the right, you will get a positive integer. For example, –3 – (–8) = 5. From –8, we need to move 5 steps to the right (positive direction) to reach –3. Thus, the answer is +5 or 5. • If you move to the left, you will get a negative integer. For example, –8 – (– 3) = – 5. From –3, we need to move 5 steps to the left (negative direction) to reach –8. Thus, the answer is –5. –8 –7 –6 –5 –4 –3 Second integer First integer +5 Positive integers First integer Second integer –8 –7 –6 –5 –4 –3 First integer Second integer –5 Negative integers First integer Second integer EXAMPLE 14 Simplify each of the following. (a) 4 – (–3) (b) –6 – 2 Solution: (a) 4 – (– 3) = 7 Move 7 steps to the right. –3 –1–2 0 1 2 4 3 +7 (b) – 6 – 2 = – 8 Move 8 steps to the left. –3–4–5–6 –1–2 0 1 2 –8 To perform a subtraction involving three integers, always work out from left to right. EXAMPLE 15 Simplify 8 – (– 4) – 3. Solution: 8 – (– 4) – 3 = 8 + 4 – 3 = 12 – 3 = 9 Simplifying addition and subtraction of integers: • a + (+b) = a + b • a + (–b) = a – b • a – (+b) = a – b • a – (–b) = a + b Press 8 – (–) 4 – 3 = 9 Work out from left to right. ©Praxis Publishing_Focus On Maths

16 CHAPTER 1 Integers Solution: (a) –2 × (+3) = –6°C Therefore, the temperature 3 hours later is –6°C. (b) –2 × (–4) = 8°C Therefore, the temperature 4 hours earlier was 8°C. Decrease 2°C = –2 3 hours later = +3 Decrease 2°C = –2 4 hours before = –4 B Properties of multiplication (I) Commutative property of multiplication a × b = b × a This rule says we can multiply numbers in any order we want without changing the result. For example, 2 × 3 = 3 × 2 (–6) × 9 = 9 × (–6) (II) Associative property of multiplication (a × b) × c = a × (b × c) Here it says we can group numbers in a product in any way we want and still get the same result. For example, (5 × 10) × 2 = 5 × (10 × 2) [(–6) × 8] × 3 = (– 6 × 3) × (8 × 3) (III) Distributive property of multiplication a × (b + c) = (a × b) + (a × c) This property involves multiplication of a number by the sum of two addends. We can first add and then multiply or multiply first and then add. Either way, the multiplication is distributed over all the terms inside the brackets, and gives the same answer. For example, 6 × (2 + 3) = (6 × 2) + (6 × 3) (–5) × (7 + 6) = (–5 × 7) + (–5 × 6) EXAMPLE 20 Fill in the blanks. (a) 6 × (–2) = –2 × (b) (8 × 1) × 10 = 8 × (1 × ) (c) 2 × (5 + 6) = (2 × 5) + ( × 6) Solution: (a) 6 × (–2) = –2 × 6 (commutative property of multiplication) (b) (8 × 1) × 10 = 8 × (1 × 10 ) (associative property of multiplication) (c) 2 × (5 + 6) = (2 × 5) + ( 2 × 6) (distributive property of multiplication) ©Praxis Publishing_Focus On Maths

33 Integers CHAPTER 1 Factors Numbers that can divide the given number exactly. Common factors Numbers that are the factors of two or more given numbers. Highest common factor (HCF) The greatest common factor of two or more given numbers. Prime numbers Numbers that can only be divided exactly by itself and the number 1. For example, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, … Prime factors Factors of a given number which are also prime numbers. Multiples Product of itself and another non-zero whole number. Common multiples Numbers that are the multiples of two or more given numbers. Lowest common multiple (LCM) The smallest common multiple of two or more given numbers. Summary Summary Summary Addition of integers • Adding a positive integer can be represented on a number line by moving to the right. For example, –5 + (+4) = –1. –6 –5 –4 –3 –2 –1 0 +4 • Adding a negative integer can be represented on a number line by moving to the left. For example, –2 + (–3) = –5. –6 –5 –4 –3 –2 –1 0 –3 • a + (+b) = a + b • a + (–b) = a – b Subtraction of integers • Subtraction of integers can be represented on a number line by moving from the second integer to the first integer and count the number of steps required. For example, –1 – (–6) = +5. Move to the right, the difference is positive. –6 –5 –4 –3 –2 –1 0 +5 For example, –5 – (–1) = –4. Move to the left, the difference is negative. –6 –5 –4 –3 –2 –1 0 –4 • a – (+b) = a – b • a – (–b) = a + b Positive integers Whole number with a ‘+’ sign or without any sign. For example, +5, +9, 24, 32. Zero 0 is an integer but neither positive nor negative. Negative integers Whole number with a ‘–’ sign. For example, –2, –7, –49. Integers Integers Multiplication and division of integers • The product/quotient of two integers with the same sign is a positive integer. • The product/quotient of two integers with different signs is a negative integer. • (+) × (+) = (+) • (–) × (+) = (–) • (+) ÷ (+) = (+) • (–) ÷ (–) = (+) • (–) × (–) = (+) • (+) × (–) = (–) • (–) ÷ (+) = (–) • (+) ÷ (–) = (–) Combined operations of integers To perform computations involving combined operations, • calculate within the brackets first, • followed by division or multiplication, • then addition or subtraction, from left to right. ©Praxis Publishing_Focus On Maths
