FCMS7 Integers Operations Flashcard

Front

What is the result of adding a positive integer and a negative integer?

Back

The result can be found by subtracting the absolute value of the negative integer from the positive integer. If the positive integer is larger, the result is positive; if the negative integer is larger, the result is negative.

Front

How do you perform subtraction with integers?

Back

To subtract an integer, you can add its opposite. For example, to calculate 5 - 3, you can do 5 + (-3).

Front

What is the height of an object after descending below ground level?

Back

If an object descends below ground level, its height is represented as a negative value. For example, a height of -15 feet indicates it is 15 feet below ground.

Front

What is the product of a negative integer and a positive integer?

Back

The product of a negative integer and a positive integer is always negative.

Front

What is the sum of a number and its additive inverse?

Back

The sum of a number and its additive inverse (the negative of that number) is always zero.

Front

How do you divide two negative integers?

Back

When you divide two negative integers, the result is positive. For example, -35 ÷ -5 = 7.

Front

What is the result of multiplying two negative integers?

Back

The product of two negative integers is positive.

Front

What is the absolute value of an integer?

Back

The absolute value of an integer is its distance from zero on the number line, regardless of direction. It is always a non-negative number.

Front

How do you represent a descent in height using integers?

Back

A descent in height is represented by a negative integer. For example, descending 105 feet from 90 feet above ground is represented as 90 - 105 = -15.

Front

What is the result of adding zero to any integer?

Back

Adding zero to any integer does not change the value of that integer.
