1.4 – 1.6 Properties Objectives: Recognize and use the properties of identity and equality Use the Distributive Property to evaluate and simplify expressions Recognize and use the commutative and associative properties
Distributive Property • In Symbols: • For any numbers a, b, ca(b+c) = ab + ac or (b+c)a = ba + caa(b-c) = ab - ac or (b-c)a = ba - ca • In Words: • Multiply what is outside the parentheses with each term inside the parentheses. • Examples:
Examples • Use the distributive property to find the product.
Term Like Terms • After Distributing you must look for like terms. • What is a like term? 4x + 5 • Like term is a term that has the same variables to the same power ex) 4x and 2x Term
Coefficient – number in front of the variable. If there is no number, we assume the coefficient is 1. Exponent – the power of the variable. If there is no number, we assume the exponent is 1. Variable – the letter or letters used to represent an unknown value. Proper Terminology
Examples Ex1) 4(n-5)+2n Ex2) 5x2-4y-3(x2-y)
Evaluating Expressions with Properties • Evaluate the following expression naming the property used in each step. Property Used
