We’ll learn 4 properties: • Commutative Property • Associative Property • Distributive Property • Identity
Commutative Property
We commute when we go back and forth from work to home.
Algebra terms commute when they trade places
This is a statement of the commutative property for addition:
It also works for multiplication:
Associative Property
To associate with someone means that we like to be with them.
The tiger and the panther are associating with each other. They are leaving the lion out. ( )
The panther has decided to befriend the lion. The tiger is left out. ( )
This is a statement of the Associative Property: The variables do not change their order.
The Associative Property also works for multiplication:
Distributive Property
We have already used the distributive property. Sometimes executives ask for help in distributing papers.
The distributive property only has one form. Not one for addition . . .and one for multiplication . . .because both operations are used in one property.
We add here: 4(2x+3) We multiply here:
This is an example of the distributive property. 4(2x+3) =8x +12 2x +3 4
Here is the distributive property using variables: y +z x
Identity Property
The identity property makes me think about my identity.
The identity property for addition asks, “What can I add to myself to get myself back again?
is the identity element for addition. The above is the identity property for addition.
The identity property for multiplication asks, “What can I multiply to myself to get myself back again?
is the identity element for multiplication. The above is the identity property for multiplication.
Here are the 3 propertiesthat have to do with addition: x + y = y + x Commutative Associative x + (y + z)= (x + y) + z x + 0 = x Identity
Here are the 3 propertiesfor multiplication: Commutative xy = yx Associative x(yz)= (xy)z Identity
The distributive propertycontains both additionand multiplication: Distributive
The End
