1 6. NEGATIVE NUMBERS AND COMPUTING WITH SIGNED NUMBERS Jordan s friend, Arvid, lives in Europe; they exchange regularly. It has been very cold lately and Jordan wrote to Arvid, Our high temperature was 3 degrees below zero today! Arvid answered, Do you happen to know what temperature that is in Celsius? Jordan realized that while the U.S. uses the Fahrenheit scale for temperature, Europe uses the Celsius scale. He found a conversion formula that allowed him to convert temperature in Fahrenheit to Celsius. Here s the formula he used, entering 3 as the degrees Fahrenheit: = -45 degrees Fahrenheit = -25 Complete Jordan s response to Arvid: -25 Hey, Arvid. 3 degrees Fahrenheit is degrees Celsius. Assess your readiness to complete this activity. Rate how well you understand: Not ready Almost ready Bring it on! the terminology and notation associated with signed numbers the meaning of absolute values how to add and subtract signed numbers how to multiply and divide signed numbers how, in general, to validate signed number computations Adding and subtracting signed numbers correct absolute value of the answer correct sign of the answer Multiplying and dividing signed numbers correct absolute value of the answer correct sign of the answer 237

5 Activity 6. Negative Numbers and Computing with Signed Numbers To add more than two signed numbers, use either of the following two techniques. Technique # Add the first two numbers, using the appropriate Methodology for Adding Signed Numbers. Then add each succeeding number as you work left to right. Technique #2 Find the sum of the positive numbers and the sum of the negative numbers. Then add the two sums. Note that the Commutative and Associative Properties of Addition make this possible. Model Simplify: ( 2) + ( 0) + 9 Using Technique #, working left to right: = = ( 2) = ( 0) = = 6 Answer Using Technique #2: ( 2) + ( 0) + 9 Add the positive numbers: = 4 Add the negative numbers: 8 + ( 2) + ( 0) = 20 Add the sums 4 + ( 20) = 6 Answer 24

9 Activity 6. Negative Numbers and Computing with Signed Numbers The Methodology for Multiplying or Dividing Signed Numbers is based upon whether the signs of the numbers are the same or different. Example : 42 6 Example 2: 62 ( 9) Try It! Steps in the Methodology Example Example 2 Step Determine sign of answer. Determine the sign of the answer. If the two numbers have opposite signs, the answer will be negative. If the two numbers have the same sign, the answer will be positive opposite signs The answer will be negative. 62 ( 7) both are negative The answer will be positive. Step 2 Determine absolute value.

12 Chapter 6 Signed Numbers, Exponents, and Order of Operations Validation for Adding, Subtracting, Multiplying, and Dividing Signed Numbers You can validate your answer to a signed number addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division problem as you have validated in previous Activities; that is, by using the opposite operation to work back to the first term in the original problem. When validating, it is of utmost importance to: be aware of the signs of the original terms keep in mind that the opposite operation has its own methodology Following are validation models for each of the basic operations: Addition (+) Validate by subtracting. Example 9 + ( 24) = 43 Validation: 43 ( 24) = 43 + (+24) = 9 Example ( 2) + ( 0) + 9 = 6 Validation: Example ( 32) = 7 Validation: 7 ( 32) = 7 + (+32) = 5 Work backwards and subtract all terms but the first. 6 9 ( 0) ( 2) 2 3 = 6 + ( 9) + (+0) + (+2) + ( 2) + ( 3) = [ 6 + ( 9) + ( 2) + ( 3)] + [(+0) + (+2)] = 20 + (+2) = 8 Subtraction ( ) Validate by adding. Example = 68 Validation: = negative Example =.48 Validation: = positive Addition & Subtraction (+ ) Validate by using successive opposite operations to work back to the first term. Example ( 2) 7 ( 28) = 2 Validation: ( 28) + 7 ( 2) = ( 25) + ( 28) (+2) ( 5) = [ (+7) + (+2) + 2] + [( 25) + ( 28) + ( 5)] = 57 + ( 68) = Multiplication ( ) Validate by dividing. Division ( ) Validate by multiplying. 248 Example = 252 Validation: = ) negative Example = Validation: = negative
13 Activity 6. Negative Numbers and Computing with Signed Numbers Make Your Own Model Either individually or as a team exercise, create a model demonstrating how to solve the most diffi cult problem you can think of. Answers will vary. Problem: 249
14 Chapter 6 Signed Numbers, Exponents, and Order of Operations. What do we mean when we say that a number is negative? A number is negative, if it is less than zero. A negative sign ( ) must be placed in front of the number to indicate that it is negative. ie. Negative 7 is written What is the absolute value of a number? The absolute value of a number is the distance that the number is from zero on a number line. The absolute value of any number is positive. 3. What is the result of adding any number to its opposite? The result is zero. 4. How do you determine the sign of the answer to an addition problem? Determine the sign of the answer to an addition problem by identifying the sign of the addends. If the signs are the same, simply add the numbers and attach their sign. If the addends have opposite signs, subtract the absolute values and attach the sign of the number with the larger absolute value. 5. What does it mean to convert a subtraction problem into an addition problem? The process of subtraction of signed numbers cannot be completed without an understanding of the addition of signed numbers. When subtracting signed numbers, it is necessary to change to an addition problem, by adding the opposite of the second number to the fi rst number. (Using the addition rules for signed numbers). 6. How do you determine the sign of the answer to a multiplication or division problem? If the problem is strictly multiplication and division, an odd number of negative numbers produces a negative result. An even number of negative numbers produces a positive result. 7. In an addition problem with more than two numbers, why can you add all the positive numbers and all the negative numbers first and then find the sum of those two numbers? Use the Commutative Property to add and rearrange terms, then the Associative Property to group addends to simplify the computation. 250
15 Activity 6. Negative Numbers and Computing with Signed Numbers 8. In a multiplication problem with more than two factors, why does an even number of negative factors produce a positive answer and an odd number produce a negative answer? If you repeatedly apply the rules for multiplication you will fi nd that the results will be as stated in the question. For example: What is the answer to the following problem? ( )( )( )( ) =? We should think: ( )( )= + (+)( )= ( )( ) = + and so on. 9. When adding signed fractions, where should you attach their signs for ease of computation? Attach the sign of each fraction to its numerator and apply the methodology (for adding numbers with opposite 0. What will be your strategy to ensure that your answer to a signed number problem is correct? Validate each part of the problem as I work it through. Be careful to use the correct order of operations.. What aspect of the model you created is the most diffi cult to explain to someone else? Explain why. Answers will vary. Evaluate each of the following (a) through (j) by doing the calculation in your head. Answer 3 or +3 Answer a) f) 80 + ( 90) 5 b) ( 2) + ( 3) g) 25 ( 5) 8 c) h) 7 ( 8) 46 or +46 d) i) ( 2) ( 9) 5 or +5 0 e) 5 + ( 0) j) or
