What: properties Why: To identify and apply the commutative, associative, distributive, identity, inverse, and zero properties. NAME:

Distributive Property: + + = EXAMPLES: a (b + c) = a(b) + a(c) OR 3(5 + 4) = 3(5) + 3(4) EXAMPLES: a (b + c) = a(b) + a(c) OR 3(5 + 4) = 3(5) + 3(4) Your Turn: Apply the Distributive Property by finishing the below examples: 1. 4 (2 + 3) = __________ 2. 2(x + y) = __________ 3.(-5x + 1) 8 = __________ 4. x(9 + 3) = __________ Just remember you can secure your identity if you: Add 0 OR Multiply by 1 EXAMPLES: a + 0 = a OR = 5 a 1 = a OR 5 1 = 5 EXAMPLES: a + 0 = a OR = 5 a 1 = a OR 5 1 = 5 Identity Property: Nobody wants to lose their identity! Your Turn: Apply the Identity Property by finishing the below examples: = _____ 2. x + ____ = _____ = _____4. -5x _____ = _____

Inverse Property: Your Turn: Apply the Inverse Property by finishing the below examples: = _____ 2. 2y + _____ = _____ 3. = _____ 4. = _____ Zero Property of Multiplication: Your Turn: Apply the Zero Property by finishing the below examples: = _____ 2. -5x _____ = _____ 3. x(0) = _____ ALL ABOUT THE OPPOSITE! ALL ABOUT THE OPPOSITE! EXAMPLES: -a + a = 0 OR = 0 a b 3 4 b a 4 3 EXAMPLES: -a + a = 0 OR = 0 a b 3 4 b a 4 3 = 1 This is like a zero pair! = 1 ANSWER IS ALWAYS ZERO! ANSWER IS ALWAYS ZERO! If you have 5 empty plates, how much food do you have? Answer: Zero! 5 0 = 0 If you have 5 empty plates, how much food do you have? Answer: Zero! 5 0 = 0
