Real Numbers Properties
PROPERTY ADDITION MULTIPLICATION
Commutative a + b = b + a ab = ba
Associative (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) (ab) c = a (bc)
Identity a + 0 = a, 0 + a = a a ∙1 = a , 1∙a = a
Inverse a + (a) = 0 If a=0, a ∙ 1/a = 1 = 1/a ∙ a
Distributive a ( b + c) = ab + bc or (b + c)a = ba + ca
EX3. Name the property illustrated by each equation.
a. (5+ 7) + 8 = 8 + (5 + 7) Property____________________
b. 3(4x) = (3 ∙ 4)x Property____________________
c. 5(8 – 6) = 5(8) – 5(6) Property____________________
d. (8 + 8) +15 = 0 + 15 Property____________________
e. 5a + (5a) = 0 Property____________________
EX4. Identify the additive inverse and the multiplicative inverse of each number.
