Study Notes
Additive Properties
- Additive Identity: Adding zero to any number does not change the value (a + 0 = a).
- Additive Inverse: The sum of a number and its negative is zero (a + (-a) = 0).
Multiplicative Properties
- Multiplicative Identity: Multiplying any number by one leaves the number unchanged (a × 1 = a).
- Multiplicative Inverse: The product of a number and its reciprocal equals one (a/b × b/a = 1), given b ≠ 0.
- Multiplicative Property of Zero: Any number multiplied by zero equals zero (a × 0 = 0).
Properties of Equality
- Reflexive Property: Any number is equal to itself (a = a).
- Symmetric Property: If one number equals another, then the second number equals the first (if a = b, then b = a).
- Transitive Property: If one number equals a second, and that second equals a third, then the first equals the third (if a = b and b = c, then a = c).
- Substitution Property: If two quantities are equal, one can be replaced with the other in any expression (if a = b, a can be replaced by b).
Commutative Properties
- Commutative Property of Addition: The order of addition does not affect the sum (a + b = b + a).
- Commutative Property of Multiplication: The order of multiplication does not affect the product (a × b = b × a).
Associative Properties
- Associative Property of Addition: Rearranging the grouping of numbers in addition does not affect the sum ((a + b) + c = a + (b + c)).
- Associative Property of Multiplication: Rearranging the grouping of numbers in multiplication does not affect the product ((a × b) × c = a × (b × c)).
Distributive Property
- Distributive Property: Multiplication distributes over addition and subtraction (a × (b + c) = a × b + a × c and a × (b - c) = a × b - a × c).
