Study Notes
Operations on Integers
Addition
- Commutative property:
a + b = b + a - Associative property:
(a + b) + c = a + (b + c) - Distributive property:
a + (b + c) = a + b + a + c - Additive inverse:
a + (-a) = 0 - Examples:
-
2 + 3 = 5 -
(-2) + 3 = 1
-
Subtraction
- Defined as addition of the additive inverse:
a - b = a + (-b) - Not commutative:
a - b ≠ b - a - Not associative:
(a - b) - c ≠ a - (b - c) - Examples:
-
5 - 2 = 3 -
3 - (-2) = 5
-
Multiplication
- Commutative property:
a × b = b × a - Associative property:
(a × b) × c = a × (b × c) - Distributive property:
a × (b + c) = a × b + a × c - Multiplicative identity:
a × 1 = a - Examples:
-
2 × 3 = 6 -
(-2) × 3 = -6
-
Division
- Defined as the inverse operation of multiplication:
a ÷ b = a × (1/b) - Not commutative:
a ÷ b ≠ b ÷ a - Not associative:
(a ÷ b) ÷ c ≠ a ÷ (b ÷ c) - Examples:
-
6 ÷ 2 = 3 -
(-6) ÷ 2 = -3
-
Rules for Operations on Integers
- When multiplying or dividing two integers with the same sign, the result is always positive.
- When multiplying or dividing two integers with different signs, the result is always negative.
- When adding or subtracting two integers with the same sign, the result has the same sign.
- When adding or subtracting two integers with different signs, the result has the sign of the integer with the larger absolute value.
Operations on Integers
Addition
- Commutative property holds:
a + b = b + a - Associative property holds:
(a + b) + c = a + (b + c) - Distributive property holds:
a + (b + c) = a + b + a + c - Additive inverse exists:
a + (-a) = 0 - Examples of addition:
2 + 3 = 5,(-2) + 3 = 1
Subtraction
- Defined as addition of the additive inverse:
a - b = a + (-b) - Not commutative:
a - b ≠ b - a - Not associative:
(a - b) - c ≠ a - (b - c) - Examples of subtraction:
5 - 2 = 3,3 - (-2) = 5
Multiplication
- Commutative property holds:
a × b = b × a - Associative property holds:
(a × b) × c = a × (b × c) - Distributive property holds:
a × (b + c) = a × b + a × c - Multiplicative identity exists:
a × 1 = a - Examples of multiplication:
2 × 3 = 6,(-2) × 3 = -6
Division
- Defined as the inverse operation of multiplication:
a ÷ b = a × (1/b) - Not commutative:
a ÷ b ≠ b ÷ a - Not associative:
(a ÷ b) ÷ c ≠ a ÷ (b ÷ c) - Examples of division:
6 ÷ 2 = 3,(-6) ÷ 2 = -3
Rules for Operations on Integers
- Same sign → positive result in multiplication and division
- Different signs → negative result in multiplication and division
- Same sign → same sign result in addition and subtraction
- Different signs → sign of the larger absolute value result in addition and subtraction
