Properties of Mathematics
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Closure Property of Addition | For all integers a & b; a + b is an integer |
| Commutative Property of Addition | a + b = b + a |
| Associative Property of Addition | (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) |
| Identity Property of Addition | a + 0 = a |
| Inverse Property | a + (-a) = 0 |
| Closure Property of Addition | The sum of any two integers is an integer |
| Commutative Property of Addition | Changing the order of the addends does not change the sum |
| Associative Property of Addition | Changing the grouping of the addends does not change the sum |
| Identity Property of Addition | The sum of any integer and zero equals the original integer |
| Inverse Property | The sum of any integer and its additive inverse equals zero, the identity element of addition |
| Closure Property of Addition | 5 + 9 = 14; 14 is an integer |
| Commutative Property of Addition | 8 + 4 = 4 + 8 |
| Associative Property of Addition | (-5 + 4) + 6 = -5 + (4 + 6) |
| Identity Property of Addition | -2 + 0 = -2 |
| Inverse Property | 6 + (-6) = 0 |
| Closure Property of Multiplication | For all integers, a & b; ab is an integer |
| Commutative Property of Multiplication | ab = ba |
| Associative Property of Multiplication | (ab)c = a(bc) |
| Identity Property of Multiplication | a( 1) = a |
| Zero Property | a(0) = 0 |
| Closure Property of Multiplication | The product of two integers is an integer |
| Commutative Property of Multiplication | Changing the order of the factors does not change the product |
| Associative Property of Multiplication | Changing the grouping of the factors does not change the product |
| Identity Property of Multiplication | The product of any integer and one equals the original integer |
| Zero Property | The product of any integer and zero equals zero |
| Closure Property of Multiplication | -7(2) = -14; -14 is an integer |
| Commutative Property of Multiplication | -6(-5) = -5(-6) |
| Associative Property of Multiplication | [-5(4)]9 = -5[4(9)] |
| Identity Property of Multiplication | -7(1) = -7 |
| Zero Property | 0(5,210) = 5,210 |
| Distributive Property | For any integers a, b, & c; a(b + c) = ab + ac |
| Distributive Property | -5(x + 6) = -5x + (-30) |
