Study Notes
Arithmetic Operations
Addition
- Denoted by the plus sign (+)
- Combines two or more numbers to get a total or a sum
- Example: 2 + 3 = 5
Subtraction
- Denoted by the minus sign (-)
- Finds the difference between two numbers
- Example: 5 - 3 = 2
Multiplication
- Denoted by the multiplication sign (×) or an asterisk (*)
- Repeats a number a certain number of times
- Example: 2 × 3 = 6
Division
- Denoted by the division sign (÷) or a forward slash (/)
- Finds the quotient of two numbers
- Example: 6 ÷ 2 = 3
Order of Operations
- A set of rules to follow when performing multiple operations in an expression
- Acronym: PEMDAS (or Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally)
- Order: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction
Basic Properties
-
Commutative Property: The order of numbers does not change the result
- Example: 2 + 3 = 3 + 2
-
Associative Property: The order of operations does not change the result
- Example: (2 + 3) + 4 = 2 + (3 + 4)
-
Distributive Property: Multiply a single value to multiple addends
- Example: 2 × (3 + 4) = 2 × 3 + 2 × 4
