Students might rephrase the definition that states that the absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line. You might check that students include in their description that the absolute value of a number cannot be negative (or that the absolute value of a number is either a positive number or zero).

For example, in the sequence 1, 3, 9, 27, 81, . . . , each number after the first is found by multiplying the preceding number in the list by 3. To find the multiplier in a geometric sequence, divide the second number in the sequence by the first number; for the example above, 3 ÷ 1 = 3.

Answers to Writing Exercises 124. Students should rephrase the rules for multiplying two integers and for dividing two integers: To multiply two integers with the same sign, multiply the absolute values of the factors; the product is positive. To multiply two integers with different signs, multiply the absolute values of the factors; the product is negative. To divide two integers with the same sign, divide the absolute values of the numbers; the quotient is positive. To divide two integers with different signs, divide the absolute values of the numbers; the quotient is negative. Be sure that students are describing both the signs of the numbers being multiplied or divided and the sign of the resulting product or quotient. Quick Quiz (Objective 10.3C) 1.

(Note: Answers may vary. Possible answers are given.) 1. 2. 3. 3 5 5 6 7 6 7 25 25 2 29 9 9 4 4. −0.16 5. −0.75 6. 5.2 7. −2.4 25 3 4 26 5 12 8. −6.25 5 25 4 Optional Student Activity Have students use calculators to write 5 , 17 , 42 , 63 99 99 99 99 , and 81 99 as repeating decimals. Have them describe the pattern. Ask them to find fractions with other denominators that have interesting decimal patterns (for example, ninths or elevenths). Optional Student Activity To determine whether a fraction can be written as a terminating decimal, first write the fraction in simplest form. Then look at the denominator of the fraction. If it contains prime factors of only 2s and/or 5s, then it can be expressed as a terminating decimal. If it contains prime factors other than 2s or 5s, it represents a repeating decimal. For example, if the denominator of a fraction in simplest form is 20, then it can be written as a terminating decimal because 20 = 2 *2 * 5 (prime factors of only 2 and 5). If the denominator of a fraction in simplest form is 6, it represents a repeating decimal because it contains the prime factor 3 (a number other than 2 or 5). Assume that each of the following numbers is the denominator of a fraction written in simplest form. Does the fraction represent a terminating or a repeating decimal? a. 4 Terminating b. 5 Terminating c. 7 Repeating d. 9 Repeating e. 10 Terminating f. 12 Repeating g. 15 Repeating h. 16 Terminating i. 18 Repeating j. 21 Repeating k. 24 Repeating l. 25 Terminating m. 28 Repeating n. 40 Terminating Write another number that, as the denominator of a fraction in simplest form, represents a terminating decimal. Answers will vary. For example, 8 or 80. Write another number that, as the denominator of a fraction in simplest form, represents a repeating decimal. Answers will vary. For example, 3 or 30.

Optional Student Activity Find the product of 1.0035 and 1.00079 without using a calculator. Then find the product using a calculator and compare the two numbers. Some calculators truncate the product, which means that the digits that cannot be displayed are discarded. Other calculators round the answer to the rightmost place value in the calculator’s display. Determine which method your calculator uses to handle approximate answers. If the decimal places in a negative number are truncated, is the resulting number greater than, less than, or equal to the original number? 1.004292765; truncated: 1.0042927; rounded: 1.0042928; greater than Objective 10.4C Optional Student Activity The table below shows the total trade balance, in billions of dollars, for the United States in the 1990s.

Would you expect the trade balance to have increased or decreased from 1999 to 2000? Why? Answers will vary. Answers to Writing Exercises 95. Given any two different rational numbers, it is always possible to find a rational number between them. One method is to add the two numbers and divide by 2. Another method is to add the numerators and add the denominators. For example, given the fractions 2 5 and 3 , 23 4 54 5 9 and 2 5 5 9 3 4 .

One light year is the distance light travels in 1 year, or about 5.87 x 10 12 mi. The distance to the star Alpha Centauri is 4.3 light years. That is, it would take 4.3 years traveling at the speed of light to reach this star. Astronauts travel at a speed of approximately 25,000 mph. At this speed approximately how many years would it take to reach Alpha Centauri? Round to the nearest thousand. 115,000 years Objective 10.5B Procedures to Review Order of Operations Agreement [1.6B] Concept Check Put the following expressions in order from the smallest value to the largest value. a. 3 1 ( 3) −16 2 8 b. 3 − (−4 + 2) ÷ 2 4 3 c. 1 3 9 1 1 7 24 2 4 16 6 d. 8 − (−7) x (6 − 10) + 32 −11 Optional Student Activity 1.

What is the smallest prime number that divides evenly into the sum of 3 9 and 511? 2 Answers to Writing Exercises 97. Because the first statement is false (it was either Becky or Diana), neither Becky nor Diana could have done it. Therefore, it was either Abdul or Carl. Because the second statement is false (it was neither Becky nor Carl), either Becky or Carl did it. Because the first statement ensured that it was Abdul or Carl, it must have been Carl. 98. Check that students state that, for a number to be written in scientific notation, it must be the product of a number between 1 and 10 and a power of 10, where the exponent on 10 is an integer.
