Understanding Negative Numbers
Introduction to Negative Numbers
- Daniel Carreón introduces the topic of negative numbers, explaining that they are less than zero and positioned to the left of zero on a horizontal number line.
- On a vertical number line, negative numbers are located below zero, while positive numbers are above it.
Characteristics of Negative Numbers
- A number is considered negative if it has a minus sign (-) in front of it. Without this sign, the number is assumed to be positive.
- Examples of negative numbers include -5, -25, -10, -7, and -8. Positive examples include +35 (with a plus sign), 26 (assumed positive), +7 (with a plus sign), and 33 (assumed positive).
Practical Applications of Negative Numbers
- The concept of negative numbers is illustrated through practical examples:
- A debt can be expressed as -20 pesos.
- Depth below sea level can be represented as -10 meters.
