    As we saw in the introduction to the chapter, negative numbers have a rich and storied history. One of the earliest applications of negative numbers had to do with credits and debits. For example, if $5 represents a credit or profit, then −$5 represents a debit or loss. Of course, the ancients had a different monetary system than ours, but you get the idea. Note that if a vendor experiences a profit of $5 on a sale, then a loss of −$5 on a second sale, the vendor breaks even. That is, the sum of $5 and −$5 is zero. In much the same way, every whole number has an opposite or negative counterpart.

    The Opposite or Negative of a Whole Number

    For every whole number a, there is a unique number −a, called the opposite or negative of a, such that a + (−a) = 0.

    The opposite or negative of any whole number is easily located on the number line.

    Number Line Locations

    To locate the opposite (or negative) of any whole number, first locate the whole number on the number line. The opposite is the reflection of the whole number through the origin (zero).

    Example 1

    Locate the whole number 5 and its opposite (negative) on the number line.

    Solution

    Draw a number line, then plot the whole number 5 on the line as a shaded dot.

    Screen Shot 2019-08-12 at 5.58.13 PM.png

    To find its opposite, reflect the number 5 through the origin. This will be the location of the opposite (negative) of the whole number 5, which we indicate by the symbol −5.

    Screen Shot 2019-08-12 at 5.58.18 PM.png

    Note the symmetry. The whole number 5 is located five units to the right of zero. Its negative is located five units to the left of zero.

    Exercise

    Locate the number -7 and its opposite on the number line.

    Important Pronunciation

    The symbol −5 is pronounced in one of two ways: (1) “negative five,” or (2) “the opposite of five.”

    In similar fashion, we can locate the opposite or negative of any whole number by reflecting the whole number through the origin (zero), which leads to the image shown in Figure 2.1.

    Screen Shot 2019-08-12 at 6.01.48 PM.png
    Figure 2.1: The opposite (negative) of any whole number is a reflection of that number through the origin (zero).

    The Integers

    The collection of numbers arranged on the number line in Figure 2.1 extend indefinitely to the right, and because the numbers on the left are reflections through the origin, the numbers also extend indefinitely to the left. This collection of numbers is called the set of integers.

    The Integers

    The infinite collection of numbers

    {..., −7, −6, −5, −4, −3, −2, −1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, ...}

    is called the set of integers.

    The ellipsis . . . at each end of this infinite collection means “etcetera,” as the integers continue indefinitely to the right and left. Thus, for example, both 23,456 and −117, 191 are elements of this set and are therefore integers.

    Ordering the Integers

    As we saw with the whole numbers, as you move to the right on the number line, the numbers get larger; as you move to the left, the numbers get smaller.

    Order on the Number Line

    Let a and b be integers located on the number line so that the point representing the integer a lies to the left of the point representing the integer b.

    Screen Shot 2019-08-12 at 6.03.49 PM.png

    Then the integer a is “less than” the integer b and we write

    \[ a < b\nonumber \]

    Alternatively, we can also say that the integer b is “larger than” the integer a and write

    \[ b > a.\nonumber \]

    Example 3

    Replace each shaded box with < (less than) or > (greater than) so the resulting inequality is a true statement.

    Screen Shot 2019-08-12 at 6.07.02 PM.png

    Solution

    For the first case, locate −3 and 5 on the number line as shaded dots.

    Screen Shot 2019-08-12 at 6.07.08 PM.png

    Note that −3 lies to the left of 5, so:

    Screen Shot 2019-08-12 at 6.07.11 PM.png

    That is, −3 is “less than” 5.

    In the second case, locate −2 and −4 as shaded dots on the number line.

    Screen Shot 2019-08-12 at 6.09.21 PM.png

    Note that −2 lies to the right of −4, so:

    Screen Shot 2019-08-12 at 6.09.26 PM.png

    That is, −2 is “greater than” −4.

    Exercise

    Compare −12 and −11.

    Answer

    −12 < −11

    Important Observation

    In Example 3, note that the “pointy end” of the inequality symbol always points towards the smaller number.

    We stated earlier that every integer has a unique number called its “opposite” or “negative.” Thus, the integer −5 is the opposite (negative) of the integer 5. Thus, we can say that the pair −5 and 5 are opposites. Each is the opposite of the other. Logically, this leads us to the conclusion that the opposite of −5 is 5. In symbols, we would write

    \[ -(-5) = 5.\nonumber \]

    Opposites of Opposites

    Let a be an integer. Then the “opposite of the opposite of a is a.” In symbols, we write

    \[ -(-a) = a.\nonumber \]

    We can also state that the “negative of a negative a is a.

    Example 4

    Simplify −(−13) and −(−119).

    Solution

    The opposite of the opposite of a number returns the original number. That is,

    −(−13) = 13 and − (−119) = 11.

    Exercise

    Simplify: −(−50).

    Answer

    Positive and Negative

    We now define the terms positive integer and negative integer.

    Positive Integer

    If a is an integer that lies to the right of zero (the origin) on the number line, then a is a positive integer. This means that a is a positive integer if and only if a > 0.

    Thus, 2, 5, and 117 are positive integers.

    Negative Integer

    If a is an integer that lies to the left of zero (the origin) on the number line, then a is a negative integer. This means that a is a negative integer if and only if a < 0.

    Thus, −4, −8, and −1, 123 are negative integers.

    Zero

    The integer zero is neither positive nor negative.

    Example 5

    Classify each of the following numbers as negative, positive, or neither: 4, −6, and 0.

    Solution

    Locate 4, −6, and 0 on the number line.

    Screen Shot 2019-08-12 at 6.18.15 PM.png

    Thus:

    • 4 lies to the right of zero. That is, 4 > 0, making 4 a positive integer.
    • −6 lies to the left of zero. That is, −6 < 0, making −6 a negative integer.
    • The number 0 is neutral. It is neither negative nor positive.
    Exercise

    Classify −11 as positive, negative, or neither.

    Answer

    Negative

    Absolute Value

    We define the absolute value of an integer.

    Absolute Value

    The absolute value of an integer is defined as its distance from the origin (zero).

    It is important to note that distance is always a nonnegative quantity (not negative); i.e., distance is either positive or zero. As an example, we’ve shaded the integers −4 and 4 on a number line.

    Screen Shot 2019-08-12 at 6.21.51 PM.png

    The number line above shows two cases:

    • The integer −4 is 4 units from zero. Because absolute value measures the distance from zero, | − 4| = 4.
    • The integer 4 is also 4 units from zero. Again, absolute value measures the distance from zero, so |4| = 4.

    Let’s look at another example.

    Example 6

    Determine the value of each expression: a) | − 7|, b) |3|, and c) |0|.

    Solution

    The absolute value of any integer is equal to the distance that number is from the origin (zero) on the number line. Thus:

    a) The integer −7 is 7 units from the origin; hence, | − 7| = 7.

    b) The integer 3 is 3 units from the origin; hence, |3| = 3.

    c) The integer 0 is 0 units from the origin; hence, |0| =0.

    Exercise

    Simplify: | − 33|.

    Answer

    33

    Example 7

    Determine the value of each expression: a) −(−8) and b) −| − 8|

    Solution

    These are distinctly different problems.

    a) The opposite of −8 is 8. That is, −(−8) = 8.

    b) However, in this case, we take the absolute value of −8 first, which is 8, then the opposite of that result to get −8. That is,

    \[ \begin{aligned} - | -8 | = -(8) & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ First: } |-8| = 8.} \\ = -8 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Second: The opposite of 8 is } -8.} \end{aligned}\nonumber \]

    Exercise

    Simplify: −| − 50|.

    Answer

    50

    Applications

    There are a number of applications that benefit from the use of integers.

    Example 8

    Profits and losses for the first six months of the fiscal year for a small business are shown in Table 2.1. Profits and losses are measured in thousands of dollars. A positive number represents a profit, while a negative number represents a loss. Create a bar graph representing the profits and losses for this small business for each month of the first half of the fiscal year.

    Month Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun
    Profit/Loss 10 12 7 -2 -4 5

    Table 2.1: Profit and loss are measured in thousands of dollars.

    Solution

    Start by labeling the horizontal axis with the months of the fiscal year. Once you’ve completed that task, scale the vertical axis to accommodate the Profit/Loss values recorded in Table 2.1. Finally, starting at the 0 level on the horizontal axis, sketch bars having heights equal to the profit and loss for each month.

    Screen Shot 2019-08-12 at 6.32.04 PM.png
    Figure 2.2 for the months January, February, March, and June have heights greater than zero, representing a profit in each of those months. The bars for the months April and May have heights that are less than zero, representing a loss for each of those months.
    Exercise

    The following table contains record low temperatures (degrees Fahrenheit) for Jackson Hole, Wyoming for the indicated months.

    Month Temp
    Sept. 14
    Oct. 2
    Nov. −27
    Dec. −49
    Jan. −50

    Create a bar graphs of temperature versus months.

    Example 9

    Table 2.2 contains the low temperature recordings (degrees Fahrenheit) on five consecutive days in Fairbanks, Alaska, 1995. Create a line graph for the data in Table 2.2.

    Date Jan 21 Jan 22 Jan 23 Jan 24 Jan 25
    Low Temp 1 10 5 −20 −28
    Solution

    Start by labeling the horizontal axis with the days in January that the temperatures occurred. Scale the vertical axis to accommodate the temperatures given in Table 2.2. Finally, plot points on each day at a height that equals the temperature for that given day. Connect consecutive pairs of points with line segments to produce the line graph shown in Figure 2.3.

    Screen Shot 2019-08-12 at 6.39.40 PM.png
    Figure 2.3: Plotting daily low temps versus the date they occurred.

    Note that the points in Figure 2.3 have heights greater than zero for January 21-23, representing temperatures greater than zero. The points representing January 24-45 have negative heights corresponding to the negative temperatures of Table 2.2.

    Exercise

    A man stands on the roof of a multistory building and throws a baseball vertically upward. The height (in feet) of the ball above the edge of the roof at measured times (in seconds) is given in the following table.

    Time Height
    0 0
    1 24
    2 16
    3 −24
    4 −96

    Create a line graph of the height of the ball versus time in the air.
