Study Notes
Integers
- Integers include zero, positive whole numbers, and their negative counterparts.
- Positive and negative numbers describe directions or opposites in real-life situations (e.g., temperature, altitude).
- Integers can be visually represented and located on a number line.
- Integers can be compared and arranged in a specific order.
Integer Operations
- Integers added as numerals yield a total sum
- Integers subtracted as numerals yield a difference
Multiplying and Dividing Integers
- Integers can be multiplied to find a product or divided to find a quotient
Algebraic Expressions
- Variables are symbols representing unknown or changeable values, unlike constants, which remain fixed in algebraic expressions.
- Algebraic expressions can be formed by translating verbal phrases using variables, constants, and mathematical operations.
