Q

what is associative property?

A

This applies to real number operations if numbers can be grouped differently and still produce the same result. Real numbers are associative with addition and multiplication, but not with subtraction or division.

Q

0 is considered to which property?

A

identity

18

a+0=a and a*1=a is what kind of property

A

identity

19
Q

What is closure property?

A

the affect or change of a type number when an operation is performed. Real numbers are considered closed under addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division as performing and of those operations between 2 real numbers will result in another real number.

20
Q

if A and B are real numbers then a+b is what?

A

a real number (closure property)

21
Q

What is the inverse property?

A

the circumstances in which an operation can be performed on a real number to result in the identity of that operation

22
Q

a+(−a)=0 and a⋅1a=1 is what property?

A

inverse

23
Q

√a= a+b / 2*√b (b is the nearest perfectly squared number such as 2)

A

how to find square root of prime number

24
Q

What’s a prime number?

A

Any whole number greater than 1 that is divisible only by 1 and itself, is defined as a prime number.

25
Q

2 is considered a ____ number

A

prime

26
Q

a^m/n =

A

n√a^m

27
Q

What is a constant

A

every numerical term w/out a variable

28
Q

What is addition property of equality?

A

adding the same number to both sides of an equation produces an equivalent equation

29
Q

What property is this? if a=b then a+c=b+c

A

Addition property of equality

30
Q

What’s subtraction property of equality

A

subtracting the same number from both sides of an equation produces an equivalent equation

31
Q

multiplication property of equality

A

multiplying both sides of an equation by the same number produces an equivalent equation

32
Q

what property is this? if a=b then ac=bc

A

multiplication property of equality

33
Q

division property of equality

A

dividing both sides of an equation by the same number produces an equivalent expression
