Axioms of the System

PROPERTIES OF REAL NUMBERS

 Associative Property
 Commutative Property
 Distributive Property
ASSOCIATIVE PROPERTY
 Both addition and multiplication can actually be done with two numbers at a time.
So if there are more numbers in the expression, how do we decide which two to
"associate" first? The associative property of addition tells us that we can group
numbers in a sum in any way we want and still get the same answer. The
associative property of multiplication tells us that we can group numbers in a
product in any way we want and still get the same answer.

 addition
(4x + 2x) + 7x = 4x + (2x + 7x)

 multiplication
2x2(3y) = 3y(2x2)
COMMUTATIVE PROPERTIES
 The commutative property of addition says that we
can add numbers in any order. The commutative
property of multiplication is very similar. It says
that we can multiply numbers in any order we want
without changing the result.
 addition
5a + 4 = 4 + 5a
 multiplication
3 x 8 x 5b = 5b x 3 x 8
DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY
 The distributive property comes into play when
an expression involves both addition and
multiplication. A longer name for it is, "the
distributive property of multiplication over
addition." It tells us that if a term is multiplied by
terms in parenthesis, we need to "distribute" the
multiplication over all the terms inside.
 2x(5 + y) = 10x + 2xy
IDENTITY PROPERTY OF ADDITION

 The identity property of addition is that when a number n is added to zero,

the result is the number itself i.e.

 n+0=n
 Zero is called an additive identity and it can be added to any real number

without changing its value. Here are the few examples of identity property
of addition,
3 + 0 = 3          (Positive Integers)
-3 + 0 = -3       (Negative Integers)
4/5 + 0 = 4/5    (Fractions)
0.5 + 0 = 0.5    (Decimals)
x + 0 = x          (Algebraic notation)
IDENTITY PROPERTY OF MULTIPLICATION

 The identity property of multiplication is that

when a number n is multiplied by one, the result
is the number itself i.e
 n×1=n
 One is called the multiplicative identity and it can
be multiplied with any real number without
changing its value. Here are the few examples of
identity property of multiplication
 3 × 1 = 3          (Positive Integers)
 -3 × 1 = -3       (Negative Integers)
 4/5 × 1 = 4/5    (Fractions)
 0.5 × 1 = 0.5    (Decimals)
 x × 1 = x          (Algebraic notation)
 This property holds true for division as well because
dividing any number by 1 equals the number itself.
Therefore, 1 is also called divisive identity.
CLOSURE PROPERTY

• The closure property of addition for real numbers

states that if a and b are real numbers, then a + b is
a unique real number.

• The closure property of multiplication for real

numbers states that if a and b are real numbers,
then a × b is a unique real number.

INVERSE PROPERTY
 There are two type of Inverse Properties:
 Addition
 Multiplication
Property of Addition -says that any number added to its
opposite will equal zero. What is the opposite you might ask? All
you have to do is change the sign from positive to negative or
negative to positive.

Example 1:     5 + (-5) = 0     -5 is the opposite of 5

Example 2:     -4 + (4) = 0    -4 is the opposite of 4

 Inverse Property of Multiplication says that any
number multiplied by its reciprocal is equal to
one.
 Example : find the reciprocal of   .
    Flip it →  .
 le 1: find the reciprocal of
