Algebra Properties
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Reflexive Property of Equality | a = a |
Symmetric Property of Equality | If a = b, then b = a. |
Transitive Property of Equality | If a = b and b = c, then a = c. |
Distributive Property of Division over Addition | (a + b)/c = a/c + b/c |
Distributive Property of Division over Subtraction | (a - b)/c = a/c - b/c |
Additive Identity | 0 |
Multiplicative Identity | 1 |
Additive Inverses | a + -a = 0 |
Commutative Property of Multiplication | a * b = b * a |
Associative Property of Multiplication | (a * b) * c = a * (b * c) |
Distributive Property of Multiplication over Subtraction | a(b - c) = a*b - a*c |
Commutative Property of Addition | a + b = b + a |
Associative Property of Addition | (a + b) +c = a + (b + c) |
Multiplicative Inverse | a * 1/a = 1 |
Distributive Property of Multiplication over Addition | a(b + c) = a*b + a*c |
Rational numbers | a quotient of two integers, a decimal value that stops or repeats |
Irrational numbers | a decimal value that never stops and never repeats; the square root of a non-perfect square |
