Study Notes
Definition
- Multiplication is a fundamental operation in mathematics that represents the repeated addition of a number
- It is denoted by the multiplication symbol (×) or the asterisk symbol (*)
Properties
-
Commutative Property: The order of the numbers being multiplied does not change the result
- Example: 2 × 3 = 3 × 2 = 6
-
Associative Property: The order in which numbers are multiplied does not change the result
- Example: (2 × 3) × 4 = 2 × (3 × 4) = 24
-
Distributive Property: Multiplication can be distributed over addition
- Example: 2 × (3 + 4) = 2 × 3 + 2 × 4 = 6 + 8 = 14
Types of Multiplication
-
Scalar Multiplication: Multiplication of a number by a scalar value
- Example: 2 × 3 = 6
-
Matrix Multiplication: Multiplication of matrices
- Example: [a, b] × [c, d] = [ac + bd, ad + bc]
Multiplication Rules
-
Multiplication by 0: Any number multiplied by 0 is 0
- Example: 5 × 0 = 0
-
Multiplication by 1: Any number multiplied by 1 is the number itself
- Example: 5 × 1 = 5
-
Multiplication by -1: Any number multiplied by -1 is the negative of the number
- Example: 5 × -1 = -5
Real-World Applications
- Area and Volume: Multiplication is used to calculate the area and volume of shapes
- Scaling: Multiplication is used to scale objects up or down
- Finance: Multiplication is used in finance to calculate interest, investment returns, and more
