| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| commutative property | a+b = b+a / ab=ba |
| associative property | (a+b)+c = a+(b+c) / (ab)c = a(bc) |
| additive identity | a+0 = a |
| multiplicative identity | a x 1 = a |
| additive inverse | a+(-a) = 1 (reciprocal) |
| multiplicative inverse | a x 1/a = 1 |
| distributive property | a(b+c) = ab + ac |
