Study Notes

Restas

Subtraction is an arithmetic operation that represents the operation of removing objects from a collection.
It is the inverse operation of addition.
Subtraction is indicated by the minus sign (-).
The number being subtracted from is called the minuend.
The number being subtracted is called the subtrahend.
The result of a subtraction problem is called the difference.
Example: 10 - 5 = 5 (10 is the minuend, 5 is the subtrahend, 5 is the difference)

Properties of Subtraction

Subtraction is not commutative: a - b ≠ b - a (e.g., 5 - 2 ≠ 2 - 5)
Subtraction is not associative: (a - b) - c ≠ a - (b - c) (e.g., (10 - 4) - 2 ≠ 10 - (4 - 2))
Subtraction of zero: a - 0 = a (e.g., 7 - 0 = 7)
Subtraction of a number from itself: a - a = 0 (e.g., 8 - 8 = 0)

Operations

An operation is an action or a rule to be performed on one or more numbers or objects to get a single result.
The most common operations in arithmetic are addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Operations are fundamental building blocks for mathematical equations and problems.

Types of Operations

Arithmetic Operations: These encompass the basic mathematical procedures including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Binary Operations: An operation that combines two numbers or elements. Subtraction is a binary operation.
Unary Operations: An operation that acts on a single number or element. For example, negating a number (-a) is a unary operation.
Other operations: Complex operations or procedures go beyond basic arithmetic operations, like logarithms, exponentiation, or more complex algebraic functions
Mathematical Operations: Operations are needed for solving mathematical expressions.

Specific examples of Operations in the context of subtraction.

Given two numbers, say 12 and 5, subtract 5 from 12. The operation is a subtraction operation, the outcome or result is 7.
Take the number 15, reduce it by 7. The operation being applied is subtraction, the result is 8.
