Inverse and Identity Properties Practice
Answers
There is no specific question given, so I will provide examples of the inverse and identity properties.
Inverse Property:
- In multiplication, the inverse property states that for any number a, the product of a and its multiplicative inverse (denoted as 1/a or a^-1) is equal to 1. For example, 5 * (1/5) = 1.
- In addition, the inverse property states that for any number a, the sum of a and its additive inverse (denoted as -a) is equal to 0. For example, 3 + (-3) = 0.
Identity Property:
- In multiplication, the identity property states that for any number a, the product of a and 1 is equal to a itself. For example, 7 * 1 = 7.
- In addition, the identity property states that for any number a, the sum of a and 0 is equal to a itself. For example, 9 + 0 = 9.
