Study Notes
Multiplicative Inverse Property
- The multiplicative inverse of a number is its reciprocal.
- Example: 9 x 1 = 9, 10 x 1 = 10.
Additive Inverse Property
- The additive inverse of a number x is -x.
- The sum of a number and its additive inverse is always zero.
- Example pairs: 2 and -2; 5 and -5.
Zero Property of Multiplication
- Multiplying any real number by zero results in zero.
- Example: X x 0 = 0 for any real number X.
- Illustrative cases: 2 x 0 = 0, 0 x 0 = 0.
Multiplicative Identity Property
- The multiplicative identity is the number one, which keeps other numbers unchanged during multiplication.
- Example: 8 x 1 = 8, 9 x 1 = 9.
Additive Identity Property
- The additive identity is the number zero, which keeps other numbers unchanged during addition.
- Example: y + 0 = y, n + 0 = n.
Distributive Property
- Distributing a multiplication over addition yields the same result as multiplying each addend and then summing the products.
- Example: 5 x (5 + 3) = 5 x 5 + 5 x 3.
Associative Property
- The way numbers are grouped in addition or multiplication does not affect the result.
- Example: (6 x 3) x 4 = (4 x 3) x 6.
Commutative Property
- The order of numbers in addition or multiplication does not change the outcome.
- Examples: 8 x 6 = 6 x 8, 6 + 4 = 4 + 6.
