- Slide 4
- a + b = b + a Example:7 + 3 = 3 + 7 Two real numbers can be
added in either order to achieve the same sum. Does this work with
subtraction? Why or why not?
- Slide 5
- a x b = b x a Example:3 x 7 = 7 x 3 Two real numbers can be
multiplied in either order to achieve the same product. Does this
work with division? Why or why not?
- Slide 6
- (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) Example: (29 + 13) + 7 = 29 + (13 +
7) When three real numbers are added, it makes no difference which
are added first. Notice how adding the 13 + 7 first makes
completing the problem easier mentally.
- Slide 7
- (a x b) x c = a x (b x c) Example: (6 x 4) x 5 = 6 x (4 x 5)
When three real numbers are multiplied, it makes no difference
which are multiplied first. Notice how multiplying the 4 and 5
first makes completing the problem easier.
- Slide 8
- a + 0 = a Example: 9 + 0 = 9 The sum of zero and a real number
equals the number itself. Memory note: When you add zero to a
number, that number will always keep its identity.
- Slide 9
- a x 1 = a Example: 8 x 1 = 8 The product of one and a number
equals the number itself. Memory note: When you multiply any number
by one, that number will keep its identity.
- Slide 10
- a(b + c) = ab + ac ora(b c) = ab ac Example: 2(3 + 4) = (2 x 3)
+ (2 x 4) or 2(3 - 4) = (2 x 3) - (2 x 4) Distributive Property is
the sum or difference of two expanded products.
- Slide 11
- a + (-a) = 0 Example:3 + (-3) = 0 The sum of a real number and
its opposite is zero.
