If x = 3 + 4i and y = 5 + 6i, x × y = y × x.

A. commutative property
B. identity property
C. distributive property
D. associative property

Answer 1

It's commutative property because of the order

Answer 2

Answer: A. commutative property

Explanation:

Given: If
`x = 3 + 4i` and
`y = 5 + 6i`,

Then x × y = y × x

• The commutative property of multiplication says that two expressions can be multiplied in either order. The answer remains unchanged with by changing the order i.e. ab=ba, where a and b be any two real numbers expressions .

Therefore the property of multiplication shown above is commutative property of multiplication.
