    Properties of Real Numbers

    Closure Property

    • The result of adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing two real numbers is always a real number.
    • Example: 2 + 3 = 5, 5 is a real number.

    Commutative Property

    • The order of the numbers being added or multiplied does not change the result.
    • Example: 2 + 3 = 3 + 2, 2 × 3 = 3 × 2.

    Associative Property

    • The order in which numbers are added or multiplied does not change the result.
    • Example: (2 + 3) + 4 = 2 + (3 + 4), (2 × 3) × 4 = 2 × (3 × 4).

    Distributive Property

    • Multiplication distributes over addition.
    • Example: 2 × (3 + 4) = 2 × 3 + 2 × 4.

    Identity Property

    • There exists a real number that, when added to or multiplied by a real number, leaves it unchanged.
    • Example: 0 is the additive identity (a + 0 = a), 1 is the multiplicative identity (a × 1 = a).

    Inverse Property

    • For each real number, there exists another real number that, when added or multiplied, results in the identity.
    • Example: for each real number a, there exists -a such that a + (-a) = 0, and a^(-1) such that a × a^(-1) = 1.

    Properties of Real Numbers

    Closure Property

    • The result of adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing two real numbers is always a real number.

    Commutative Property

    • The order of the numbers being added or multiplied does not change the result, for example, 2 + 3 = 3 + 2, and 2 × 3 = 3 × 2.

    Associative Property

    • The order in which numbers are added or multiplied does not change the result, for example, (2 + 3) + 4 = 2 + (3 + 4), and (2 × 3) × 4 = 2 × (3 × 4).

    Distributive Property

    • Multiplication distributes over addition, for example, 2 × (3 + 4) = 2 × 3 + 2 × 4.

    Identity Property

    • There exists a real number that, when added to or multiplied by a real number, leaves it unchanged, specifically, 0 is the additive identity (a + 0 = a), and 1 is the multiplicative identity (a × 1 = a).

    Inverse Property

    • For each real number, there exists another real number that, when added or multiplied, results in the identity, for example, for each real number a, there exists -a such that a + (-a) = 0, and a^(-1) such that a × a^(-1) = 1.
