What are positive integers?

Positive integers are whole numbers greater than zero. They are represented by numbers such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and so on, and do not include any fractions or decimals. These numbers are used in a variety of mathematical operations and are essential in counting and arithmetic.

What are negative integers?

Negative integers are numbers that are less than zero, such as -1, -2, -3, and so on. They represent quantities that are below the reference point of zero on the number line, indicating a loss, decrease, or direction opposite to the positive numbers.

How can positive and negative integers be represented on a number line?

Positive integers are represented on a number line by moving to the right from the origin (usually the center) with increasing values, while negative integers are represented by moving to the left from the origin with decreasing values. The zero is placed at the origin. The further you move in one direction from the origin, the higher the positive or negative value of the integer.

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

The sum of a positive integer and a negative integer is found by subtracting the absolute value of the negative integer from the positive integer if the positive integer is greater, or subtracting the absolute value of the positive integer from the negative integer if the negative integer is greater.

What is the difference between a positive integer and a negative integer?

A positive integer is a whole number greater than zero, while a negative integer is a whole number less than zero. Positive integers are represented with a plus sign (+), while negative integers are represented with a minus sign (-). The key distinction between the two is their position on the number line: positive integers lie to the right of zero, while negative integers lie to the left of zero.

How can positive and negative integers be added?

Positive and negative integers can be added by treating the positive integer as an addition and the negative integer as a subtraction. To add a positive and a negative integer, you can subtract the absolute value of the negative integer from the positive integer if it is greater, or subtract the positive integer from the absolute value of the negative integer if it is greater. The final result will have the sign of the integer with the greater absolute value.

How can positive and negative integers be subtracted?

To subtract positive and negative integers, you can treat the operation as adding the opposite. For example, to subtract a negative integer, you can change it to addition by changing the sign of the integer to positive. Then, you can proceed with regular addition. Similarly, to subtract a positive integer, you can change it to adding the opposite negative integer and proceed with the addition operation. This approach helps simplify the subtraction of positive and negative integers by converting it into addition.

Can positive and negative integers be multiplied together?

Yes, positive and negative integers can be multiplied together. When multiplying a positive integer by a negative integer, the result is a negative integer. For example, 5 multiplied by -3 equals -15. Conversely, when multiplying two positive integers or two negative integers, the result is a positive integer.

Can positive and negative integers be divided?

Yes, positive and negative integers can be divided. When dividing a positive integer by a negative integer or vice versa, the result will be a negative integer. However, when dividing two integers with the same sign (either both positive or both negative), the result will be a positive integer. Remember that division by zero is undefined.

How can positive and negative integers be used in real-life situations?

Positive and negative integers can be used in real-life situations to represent various scenarios such as temperature changes (positive for increase, negative for decrease), financial transactions (positive for income, negative for expenses), and coordinates in geography or navigation (positive for east or north, negative for west or south). They can help us quantify and understand phenomena with opposing directions or magnitudes, making them essential for solving mathematical problems and understanding real-world situations.
