Question

Match each term to their definition. 1. additive identity the reciprocal of a number; if x is a number other than zero, then 1/x is the multiplicative inverse; the product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is 1 2. distributive property equation containing more than one variable 3. literal equation a(b +

c. = ab + ac or a(b -
c. = ab - ac 4. multiplicative identity the number 1 (for the real numbers) 5. multiplicative inverse the number 0 (for the real numbers)

Answer 1

1. additive identity

the number 0 (for the real numbers)

2. distributive property

a(b + c) = ab + ac or a(b - c) = ab - ac

3. literal equation

equation containing more than one variable

4. multiplicative identity

the number 1 (for the real numbers)

5. multiplicative inverse

the reciprocal of a number; if x is a number other than zero, then 1/x is the multiplicative inverse; the product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answers:
1.) the number 0 (for the real numbers)

2.) a(b+c)= ab + ac or a(b -c) = ab - ac

3.) equation containing more than one variable

4.) the number 1 (for the real numbers)

5.) the reciprocal of a number; if x is a number other than zero, then 1/x is the multiplicative inverse
