Directed Numbers and The Number Line

This document provides examples of problems involving directed numbers and operations with positive and negative numbers. It includes examples of interpreting temperature and weight changes using positive and negative values. It also has examples of comparing positive and negative numbers, plotting numbers on a number line, and performing addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operations with directed numbers. The final example calculates the temperature at dusk based on an initial morning temperature and specified increases and decreases throughout the day.

(b) –3, 0, +2, +3

Section 1.3

5 Calculate each of the following.


(a) –18++5–+7
(b) +6––3+–4

(a) –18++5–+7–18+5–7–20
(b) +6––3+–4+6+ 3– 45

6 Calculate each of the following.


(a) –5 +4–2
(b) +8 –2 –3

(a) –5 +4–2–20)–20


(b) +8 –2 –3–4 –312

7 Calculate each of the following.


(a) (–4)2  (–2)  (–5)
(b) –12 +7––36 –6

(a) (–4)2  (–2)  (–5) = (+16)  (–2)  (–5) = (–8)  (–5) = 40


(b) (–12)  (+7) – (–36)  (–6) = (–84) – (+6) = –90

8 One morning in New York, the temperature was –3C. It rose by 8C in the afternoon and dropped by
10C at dusk. Find the temperature at dusk.

Temperature at dusk = [–3++8–10]C = –5C
