Questions and Answers

What does the Commutative Property of Addition state?

  • The sum of two negative numbers is always negative.
  • The sum of any number and zero equals the original number.
  • Changing the grouping of addends does not change the sum.
  • Changing the order of addends does not change the sum. (correct)

    • Which property states that adding zero to a number does not change its value?

  • Identity Property of Addition (correct)
  • Associative Property
  • Inverse Property of Addition
  • Commutative Property

    • What is the main idea of the Inverse Property of Addition?

  • It describes adding two positive numbers results in a positive number.
  • It indicates that the order in which values are added does not affect the outcome.
  • It states that for any number, there exists another number such that their sum is zero. (correct)
  • It asserts that if a number is added to itself, the result is that number multiplied by two.

    Study Notes

    Properties of Real Numbers

    • Properties are rules applicable to all real numbers aiding in simplifying expressions and solving equations.
    • Commutative Property: Order of addition and multiplication does not affect the result.
    • Associative Property: Grouping of numbers in addition or multiplication does not affect the result.
    • Identity Property:
      • Additive Identity: Adding zero to any number yields the same number.
      • Multiplicative Identity: Multiplying any number by one yields the same number.
    • Property of Zero: Any number multiplied by zero equals zero.
    • Inverse Property:
      • Additive Inverse: Adding a number and its negative results in zero.
      • Multiplicative Inverse: Multiplying a number by its reciprocal yields one.

    Writing Algebraic Expressions

    • Translate phrases into algebraic expressions:
      • "Twice a number plus 5": 2x + 5
      • "3 more than twice a number": 2x + 3
      • "9 less than the quotient of 6 and a number": (6/x) - 9
      • "The product of 4 and the sum of a number and 7": 4(x + 7)
      • "8 less than the product of a number and 4": 4x - 8
      • "Twice the sum of a number and 8": 2(x + 8)

    Exponents, Absolute Value, & Order of Operations

    • Exponents:
      • Used to represent repeated multiplication.
      • Base: the number that is multiplied.
      • Exponent: indicates how many times to multiply the base.
    • Absolute Value: The distance of a number from zero on a number line.
    • Order of Operations: Follow PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction).

    Simplifying Expressions

    • Simplification involves rewriting expressions into their simplest form by distributing and combining like terms.
    • Terms: Elements in an expression that can be constants or include variables.
    • Coefficient: The number multiplying a variable.
    • Constant: A fixed value without a variable.
    • Like Terms: Terms that share the same variable and exponent.

    The Distributive Property

    • Distributive Property: Multiply a term by each term inside parentheses.
    • When simplifying expressions, always distribute first, then combine like terms to achieve the final simplified expression.
