Number Systems: Introduction

Number Systems: Operations with Rational Numbers (1)

MGSE7.NS.1a Show that a number and its opposite have a sum of 0 (are additive inverses). Describe situations in which opposite quantities combine to make 0. For example, your bank account balance is -$25.00. You deposit $25.00 into your account. The net balance is $0.00.

Types of Numbers

• Natural Numbers ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...)

• Whole Numbers ( 0,1,2,3,4,5...) Includes 0 and all natural numbers

• Integers (..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3...)

• Rational Numbers ( All Natural, Whole, Integers, fractions, and decimal numbers) can be written as a ratio

• Irrational Numbers- Can not be written as a ratio. Ex. Pi

Absolute Value

• distance a number is from zero along a number line

• Simply put, is just asking you how far away -4 is from zero.

• Since distance is always a positive number (you can't travel "negative" steps, just steps in a different direction), the result of absolute value is always positive.

Additive Inverse

• Another name for Additive Inverse is "Opposite"

• Example 4 and -4

• Opposites are an equal distance from zero.

• Their sums are zero
