Understanding Integer Comparisons

The video tutorial explains how to compare integers using greater than and less than symbols. It emphasizes the use of a number line to visualize integer placement, with positive integers to the right of zero and negative integers to the left. The tutorial provides examples comparing integers, highlighting that larger numbers are always to the right on the number line. It also explains that negative integers are always less than positive integers. Through examples, the video demonstrates how to use inequality symbols to compare integers effectively.

What is the purpose of using a number line when comparing integers?

• To help visualize the position of numbers relative to each other

• To make the process more complicated

• To make the numbers look bigger

• To add more numbers to the comparison

On a number line, where are positive integers located in relation to zero?

• Below zero

• To the left of zero

• Above zero

• To the right of zero

If you compare positive one and positive four on a number line, which statement is true?

• One is greater than four

• Four is less than one

• Four is greater than one

• One is equal to four

Which of the following is always true about negative and positive integers?

• Negative integers are equal to positive integers

• Negative integers are not comparable to positive integers

• Negative integers are greater than positive integers

• Negative integers are less than positive integers

When comparing negative three and positive two, which statement is correct?

• Negative three is less than positive two

• Negative three is greater than positive two

• Negative three is equal to positive two

• Negative three is not comparable to positive two

What does the inequality symbol indicate when comparing two numbers?

• It points to the smaller number

• It points to the larger number

• It points to the number on the right

• It points to the number on the left

When comparing negative five and negative three, which is true?

• Negative five is not comparable to negative three

• Negative five is equal to negative three

• Negative five is greater than negative three

• Negative five is less than negative three

In the comparison of negative two and negative three, which statement is accurate?

• Negative two is less than negative three

• Negative two is greater than negative three

• Negative two is equal to negative three

• Negative two is not comparable to negative three

What does it mean when the inequality symbol opens towards a number?

• The number is not comparable

• The number is smaller

• The number is larger

• The number is equal

Which of the following is a correct statement about the inequality symbol?

• It always points to the number on the left

• It always points to the larger number

• It always points to the smaller number

• It always points to the number on the right
