1. 1-2 Adding and Subtracting Real Numbers Warm Up Lesson 1-1 Word Problems

2. 1-2 Adding and Subtracting Real Numbers Add real numbers; Subtract real numbers Lesson Objectives 2.0 Students understand and use such operations as taking the opposite, finding the reciprocal, taking a root, and raising to a fractional power. They understand and use the rules of exponents.

3. 1-2 Adding and Subtracting Real Numbers real numbers The set of all numbers that can be represented on a number line are called. The absolute value of a number is the distance from zero on a number line. The absolute value of 5 is written as |5|. Opposites numbers which are the same distance from zero on the number line, but on opposite sides Additive inverse the opposite of a number, used when subtracting numbers.

19. 1-2 Adding and Subtracting Real Numbers Check It Out! Example 3b Subtract. Both numbers are positive, so the sum is positive. To subtract, add. –3 1212 3 1212 Same signs: add absolute values. 4

20. 1-2 Adding and Subtracting Real Numbers –14 – (–12) Check It Out! Example 3c Subtract. –14 – (–12) = –14 + 12 (14 – 12 = 2) To subtract –12, add 12. Use the sign of the number with the greater absolute value. –2 Different signs: subtract absolute values.

21. 1-2 Adding and Subtracting Real Numbers Additional Example 4: Oceanography Application An iceberg extends 75 feet above the sea. The bottom of the iceberg is at an elevation of –247 feet. What is the height of the iceberg? Find the difference in the elevations of the top of the iceberg and the bottom of the iceberg. elevation at top of iceberg minus elevation at bottom of iceberg 75 – (–247) 75 – (–247) = 75 + 247 = 322 To subtract –247, add 247. Same signs: add the absolute values. – 75 – 247

22. 1-2 Adding and Subtracting Real Numbers Additional Example 4 Continued An iceberg extends 75 feet above the sea. The bottom of the iceberg is at an elevation of –247 feet. What is the height of the iceberg? The height of the iceberg is 322 feet.

23. 1-2 Adding and Subtracting Real Numbers Check It Out! Example 4 What if…? The tallest known iceberg in the North Atlantic rose 550 feet above the ocean's surface. How many feet would it be from the top of the tallest iceberg to the wreckage of the Titanic, which is at an elevation of –12,468 feet? elevation at top of iceberg minus elevation of the Titanic – 550 – (–12,468) 550 – (–12,468) = 550 + 12,468 To subtract –12,468, add 12,468. Same signs: add the absolute values. = 13,018 550 – 12,468
