which property is represented? 0+45=45
This is the additive identity property
huh? never heard of it. i'm tired wish i didn't have homework. you sure?
are you given a list of choices?
nope. that would be a lot easier
yes I'm sure, but your book may call it something else
oh. well i don't want to get it wrong
The additive identity property states that 0 + x = x Where x is any number
and 0 is known as the additive identity
basically, adding zero to a number does not change that number
oh you are really smart I don't like math
well I'm sure with more practice you'll get good at it too
people say I am I just get distracted really easy. most of the time I don't ask so many questions
the most important thing to remember is that you just need to get things translated into terms you can understand
learning math is like learning a new language
Yep. while we are talking about it is it somthing like the equivilant property or somthing for this question (r+s)+t=r+(s+t)
(r+s)+t=r+(s+t) is using the idea that parenthesis can be shifted around when adding (ie you can add numbers in any order and it doesn't matter) This is known as the associative property of addition
Oh yeah!!!!! I remember now!
awesome
I got confused with this last year too
i guess you can think of parenthesis "associating" (ie pairing/grouping them) the terms r and s on the left side then associating s and t on the right side
this is associative too isn't it 84+3=3+84 +=times
this is the commutative property of multiplication
btw use * to mean multiplication
ok I couldn't find it I knew that somtimes I have blonde moments
shift + 8 or the * key on the numlock pad
Yep. thanks I may have another question so stay online :)
ok
