| Can you define "Integers"? Give an example. | A number with no fractional part (no decimals).
Includes:
• the counting numbers {1, 2, 3, ...},
• zero {0},
• and the negative of the counting numbers {-1, -2, -3, ...}
We can write them all down like this: {..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...}
Examples of integers: -16, -3, 0, 1, 198 |
| Choose all integers. | -6, 14, 12.6, 10.2, 11, 13.1 |
| Can you define "Positive number"? Give an example. | A positive number is a number that is greater than zero.
Examples of positive numbers: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 |
| Can you define "Negative number"? Give an example. | A negative number is a number that is less than zero.
Examples of negative numbers: -1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6, -7, -8, -9, -10 |
| Can you define "Inequality"? Give an example. | A statement of an order relationship—greater than, greater than or equal to, less than, or less than or equal to—between two numbers or algebraic expressions.
Example: 2 is greater than any number less than zero. 10 is greater than 1.
2 is equal to 5 minus 3. |
| Can you define "Opposites"? Give an example. | Numbers located on opposite sides of 0 and the same distance from 0 on a
number line.
Example: 2 and -2 are opposites. |
| Can you define "Absolute Value"? Give an example. | Absolute value describes the distance from zero that a number is on the number line, without considering direction.
**The absolute value of a number is never negative.**
Example: The absolute value of -3 is 3. Sign: |n| |
