Ch. 2: Integers and Rational Numbers
Students learn to use rational numbers and their operations including taking the absolute value, taking the opposite, and simplifying expressions. They continue to study basic operations and their properties, and they use the properties that are taken as axioms to prove other properties.
What you'll learn
- How to use integers and rational numbers to model real situations
- How to add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers and how to use these operations in solving problems
- How to use the distributive property to simplify algebraic expressions
- How to apply the properties of numbers, axioms and theorems, to algebraic expressions.
