2. Properties of Real Numbers (Section 2.6)

3. 6 Properties: Commutative Property Associative Property Distributive Property Identity Inverse Zero

4. We commute when we go back and forth from work to home. Commutative Property

5. Algebra terms commute when they trade places

6. This is a statement of 1) commutative property for addition:

7. This is the statement for 2) Communtative of Multiplication:

8. To associate with someone means that we like to be with them. Associative Property

9. The tiger and the panther are associating with each other. They are leaving the lion out. ( )

11. The panther has decided to befriend the lion. The tiger is left out. ( )

12. In algebra:

13. This is a statement of the 3) Associative Property of Addition:

14. This is the statement for 4) Associative Property of multiplication:

15. Sometimes executives ask for help in distributing papers. Distributive Property

16. 4(2x+3) We multiply here: We add here:

17. 4(2x+3)=8x+12 This is an example of 5) Distributive 8x12 4 2x +3

18. The Identity Property makes me think about my identity. Identity Property

19. 1) Identity property for addition asks, “What can I add to myself to get myself back again?

20. The above is the identity property for addition. is the identity element for addition.

21. 7) Identity property for Multiplication asks, “What can I multiply to myself to get myself back again?

22. The above is the identity property for multiplication. is the identity element for multiplication.

23. 8) Additive property of Inverse asks, “What do you add to a number to get zero?” X + (-X)= 0

24. 9) Multiplicative property for Inverse is, a number which when multiplied by X yields 1. -The reciprocal X + 1/X = 1

25. 10) Multiplicative Property of Zero The product of any number and zero is zero. a x 0= 0
