INTEGERS ( CHAPTER - 6)
POINTS TO REMEMBER:
1. Negative numbers can be used in temperature scale, water level in lake or river, level
of oil in tank etc. They are also used to denote debit accounts or outstanding dues.
2. The collection of numbers..., – 4, – 3, – 2, – 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ... is called integers. So, – 1, –
2, – 3, – 4, ... called negative numbers are negative integers and 1, 2, 3, 4, ... called
positive numbers are the positive integers.
3. (a) When we have the same sign, add and put the same sign.
(i) When two positive integers are added, we get a positive integer [e.g. (+ 3) + ( + 2) = + 5].
(ii) When two negative integers are added, we get a negative integer [e.g. (–2) + ( – 1) = – 3].
(b) When one positive and one negative integers are added we subtract them as
whole numbers by considering the numbers without their sign and then put the sign
of the bigger number with the subtraction obtained. The bigger integer is decided by
ignoring the signs of the integers [e.g. (+4) + (–3) = + 1 and (–4) + ( + 3) = – 1].
(c) The subtraction of an integer is the same as the addition of its additive inverse.
4. Addition and subtraction of integers can also be shown on a number line.
