P.1-P.3 Algebra
| Expression | Property |
|---|---|
| A+B and AB | Closure |
| a+b=b+a and ba=ab | Commutative |
| a+(b+c)= (a+b)=c and a(bc)=(ab)c | Associative |
| a(b+c)= ab+ac | Distributive |
| 0+a=a and 1a=a | Identity |
| 0a=0 | Multiplication property of zero |
| -a+a=0 | Additive inverse |
| 1/a=1 | Multiplicative inverse |
| a=a | Reflexive |
| a=b, b=a | Symmetric |
| a=b, b=c, a=c | Transitive |
| a=b, b or a can substitute for each other in an expression involving the two. | Substitution |
