Problem. Prove that the square of any whole number n is a multiple of 4
or one more than a multiple of 4.
Strategy 13 – Use cases.
This strategy may be appropriate when
• A problem can be separated into several distinct cases.
• A problem involves distinct collections of numbers such as odds and evens,
primes and composites, and positives and negatives..
• Investigations in specific cases can be generalized.
Case 1 – n is even.
Then n = 2x =) n2 = 4x2, which is a multiple of 4.
Case 2 – n is odd.
Then n = 2x + 1 =) n2 = 4x2 + 4x + 1, which is one more than a multiple of
4.
8.1. Addition and Subtraction
Whole numbers and fractions are insufficient for expressing and solving many
common problems.
Example.
(1) At 8:00 am the temperature was 15 below zero, but had risen 20 by 4:00
pm. What was the temperature at 4:00 pm.
(2) A submarine is 200 ft below sea level. If it first dives 300 ft, then comes
back up 150 ft, what is its current depth?

(3) We would like an equation such as x + 5 = 2 to have a solution.
For all of the above, we need negative numbers.
Definition. The set of integers is the set
{. . . , 3, 2, 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, . . . }.
The numbers 1, 2, 3, . . . are the positive integers.
The numbers
1, 2, 3, . . . are the negative integers.
Zero is neither a positive nor negative integer.
Representations:
(1) Set model –we use for positive integers and for negative integers (the
text uses black chips for positive and red chips for negative integers - just
like accounting).

represents 1. Thus each
cancels out an and vice versa.

8. INTEGERS
Definition (Addition of Integers). Let a and b be any integers.
1. (Adding 0) a + 0 = 0 + a = a.
2. (Adding two positives) If a and b are positive, they are added as whole
numbers.
3. (Adding two negatives) If a and b are positive, so that a and b are
negative, then ( a) + ( b) = (a + b), where a + b is the whole number
sum of a and b.
4. (Adding a positive and a negative)
a. If a and b are positive and a
di↵erence of a and b.

b. If a and b are positive and a < b, then a + ( b) =

Example.
0 + ( 5) = 5
( 3) + ( 6) = (3 + 6 = 9
11 + ( 4) = 11 4 = 7
5 12 = (12 5) = 7
Properties of Integer Addition
Let a, b, and c be any integers.
(Closure) a + b is an integer.
(Commutative) a + b = b + a
(Associative) (a+b)+c=a+(b+c)
(Identity) 0 is the unique integer such that a + 0 = 0 + a = a for all a
(Additive inverse) For each integer a, there is a unique integer, written as a,
such that a + ( a) = 0 The integer a is called the additive inverse of a.

Note.
1) If a is positive,
a is negative.
2) If a is negative,
a is positive.
3) If a = 0,
a = 0 also.
Theorem (Additive Cancellation for Integers).
Let a, b, and c be any integers.
If a + c = b + c, then a = b.

( 4) = 11.
Note. We have 3 di↵erent meanings for “ ”.
1) “negative”:
8 means negative 8.
2) “opposite or additive inverse of”: -6 is the opposite or additive inverse of 6.
3) “minus”: 7

8.2. Multiplication, Division, and Order
Multiplication viewed as an extension of whole number multiplication:
1) As repeated addition:
Example. John has borrowed $4.00 from his sister Terri each of the last 3
days.
3 ⇥ ( 4) = ( 4) + ( 4) + ( 4) = 12.
8.2. MULTIPLICATION, DIVISION, AND ORDER
2) As an extension of patterns:
2⇥4=8
2⇥3=6
2⇥2=4
2⇥1=2
2⇥0=0
We see each step results in 2 less. So we continue the pattern:
2⇥(
2⇥(
2⇥(
2⇥(

Now using the results from above plus commutivity, which we want:
2⇥3= 6
2⇥2= 4
2⇥1= 2
2⇥0=0
Noticing that each step results in 2 more, we continue the pattern
2⇥(

Definition (Multiplication of Integers).
Let a and b be any integers.
1. a · 0 = 0 = 0 · a.
2. If a and b are positive, they are multiplied as whole numbers.
3. If a and b are positive (thus
b is negative),
a( b) =
(ab).
4. If a and b are positive, then
( a) · ( b) = ab.
Example.
(1) 5 · 0 = 0
(2) 5 · 7 = 35
(3) 3·( 4) =

Properties of Integer Multiplication
Let a, b, and c be any integers.
(Closure) a · b is an integer.
(Commutative) a · b = b · a.
(Associative) (a · b) · c = a · (b · c).
(Identity) 1 is the unique integer such that a · 1 = a = 1 · a.
(Distributive of Multiplication over Addition) a · (b + c) = a · b + a · c
Theorem. Let a be any integer. Then
a( 1) =

Proof. We know a · 0 = 0 and a + ( a) = 0. But
⇥
⇤
a · 0 = a · 1 + ( 1)
= a · 1 + a · ( 1) = a + a( 1) = 0.
Then
a + a( 1) = a + ( a)
so
a( 1) =
a
by additive cancellation.

If ac = bc, then a = b.
Why must we say c 6= 0?

Ordering Integers – less than and greater than are defined as extensions of ordering of the whole numbers. Number Line Approach: the integer a is less than
the integer b, written a < b (or b > a) if a is to the left of b on the integer
number line.
3<2
We also have
5<
3,
3 < 0,
2 < 4,
0 < 5,
2 < 7.
Addition Approach: the integer a is less than the integer b, written a < b, if
and only if there is a positive integer p such that
a + p = b.
Example.
5<
3 since
5+ 2 =
3 < 0 since
3 + 3 = 0.
2 < 4 since
2 + 6 = 4.
0 < 5 since 0 + 5 = 5.
2 < 7 since 2 + 5 = 7.

Properties of Ordering Integers Let a, b, c be any integers, p a positive integer,
and n a negative integer.
