Study Notes
Properties of Integers
- Integers are closed under addition and subtraction, meaning that the result of adding or subtracting two integers is always an integer.
- Addition is commutative, meaning that the order of the integers being added does not change the result (a + b = b + a).
- Addition is associative, meaning that the order in which integers are added does not change the result ((a + b) + c = a + (b + c)).
- Integer 0 is the identity under addition, meaning that adding 0 to any integer does not change the value (a + 0 = 0 + a = a).
Multiplication of Integers
- Integers are closed under multiplication, meaning that the product of two integers is always an integer.
- Multiplication is commutative, meaning that the order of the integers being multiplied does not change the result (a × b = b × a).
- Multiplication is associative, meaning that the order in which integers are multiplied does not change the result ((a × b) × c = a × (b × c)).
- The integer 1 is the identity under multiplication, meaning that multiplying any integer by 1 does not change the value (1 × a = a × 1 = a).
Distributive Property
- Integers exhibit the distributive property, meaning that a × (b + c) = a × b + a × c.
Division of Integers
- Division is the inverse operation of multiplication.
- When a positive integer is divided by a negative integer, the quotient is negative, and vice versa.
- When a negative integer is divided by another negative integer, the quotient is positive.
Examples and Observations
- The product of two integers is always an integer.
- Multiplication is commutative for integers, meaning that the order of the integers being multiplied does not change the result.
- Division statements can be written corresponding to multiplication statements for integers.
