Download Integers and Absolute Values

Objective: Graph integers on a number line and find
absolute value.
Example 1.
Study the pattern of the following subtraction sentences.
5–1=4
5–2=3
5–3=2
5–4=1
5–5=0
5–6=?

5–3=2
5–4=1
5–5=0
5 – 6 = -1
This is an example of a negative number. A
negative number is less than zero.

Absolute Value
Absolute Value
In words: The absolute value of a number is the distance the
number is from the zero point on the number line.
In symbols: |4| = 4 and |-4| = 4
Example 3: Simplify
a. |9| + |-9|
Example 3: Simplify
a. |9| + |-9|
|9| + |-9| = 9 + 9
Example 3: Simplify
a. |9| + |-9||
|9| + |-9| = 9 + 9
= 18
Example 3: Simplify
a. |9| + |-9||
|9| + |-9| = 9 + 9
= 18
b. |13| - |-2|
Example 3: Simplify
a. |9| + |-9||
|9| + |-9| = 9 + 9
= 18
b. |13| - |-2|
|13| - |-2| = 13 – 2
Example 3: Simplify
a. |9| + |-9||
|9| + |-9| = 9 + 9
= 18
b. |13| - |-2|
|13| - |-2| = 13 – 2
= 11
Example 4: Evaluate the expression
|x| - 7 if x = - 13
Example 4: Evaluate the expression
|x| - 7 if x = - 13
|x| - 7 = |-13| - 7
Example 4: Evaluate the expression
|x| - 7 if x = - 13
|x| - 7 = |-13| - 7
= 13 – 7
Example 4: Evaluate the expression
|x| - 7 if x = - 13
|x| - 7 = |-13| - 7
= 13 – 7
=6
