Important definitions & properties. • Algebraic Definition of Subtraction: • For all real #s a and b, a – b = a + -b. • Algebraic Definition of Division: • For all real #s a and b, with b 0, a ÷ b = a 1 . • b • Associative Property of Multiplication: • For any real #s a, b, & c, (ab)c = a(bc) . • Associative Property of Addition: • For any real #s a, b, & c, (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) . • Transitive Property of Equality: • For any real #s a,b, & c, if a = b & b = c, then a = c .

1-4 ( ) a + 10 ² b³ + a - 1.5 • Use a calculator to evaluate , • when a = 7 and b = 2. ) ( 7 + 10² 2³ + 7 – 1.5 Step 1: substitute given values for the variables. Step 2: Enter into the calculator using proper notation. (( 7 + 10 ) / (2³ + 7 – 1.5 )) ^ 2 The outer ( ) makes sure that the calculator squares the expression as the last operation performed. The inner ( ) makes sure that the calculator calculates the numerator & denominator before division. Step 3: round the result to the nearest thousandths. .566649587... .567
