Key Topics
1. Addition of Integers
- Integer addition involves combining numbers with the same or opposite signs.
- Rules:
- Same signs: Add absolute values and keep the sign.
- Opposite signs: Subtract smaller absolute value from larger, keep the sign of the number with larger absolute value.
2. Subtraction of Integers
- Subtraction can be transformed into addition by adding the opposite.
- Rule: a - b = a + (-b).
3. Multiplication of Integers
- Multiplying integers involves combining numbers with different or same signs.
- Rules:
- Same signs: Product is positive.
- Different signs: Product is negative.
4. Division of Integers
- Integer division follows similar rules as multiplication regarding signs.
- Rules:
- Same signs: Quotient is positive.
- Different signs: Quotient is negative.
- Important: Division by zero is undefined.
