1. 1-3 Notes Algebra 1
Properties of Numbers

2. Equivalent Expressions
2 expressions that represent the same number

3. Properties of Equality
Reflexive Property–Any quantity is equal to itself. a = a, 3 = 3 Symmetric Property—If the left side equals the right side of an equation, then the right side equals the left side of an equation. If 3+x=7, then 7=3+x Transitive Property—If the 1st quantity equals the 2nd quantity and the 2nd quantity equals a 3rd quantity, then the 1st quantity equals the 3rd quantity. If 2 + a = 8 and 8 = 3 + 5, then 2 + a = Substitution Property—A quantity may be substituted for its equal in any expression or equation. If n = 4, then 7n = 7(4)

4. Addition Properties
Additive identity—For any number a, the sum of a and 0 is a. a + 0 = 0 + a = a = = 5 Additive inverse—A number and its opposite are additive inverses of each other. 𝑎+ −𝑎 =0 3+ −3 =0 3−3=0

5. Multiplication Properties
Multiplicative Inverse—For any number a the product of a and 1 is a. 𝑎∙1=𝑎 1∙9=9 9∙1=9 Multiplicative properties of zero—For any number a, the product of a and 0 is 0. 𝑎∙0=𝑎 9∙0=0 0∙9=0 Multiplicative Inverse (Reciprocal)—for every number 𝑎 𝑏 , where 𝑎,𝑏≠0 there is exactly one number 𝑏 𝑎 such that the product of 𝑎 𝑏 and 𝑏 𝑎 is 1. 𝑎 𝑏 ∙ 𝑏 𝑎 =1 2 7 ∙ 7 2 = =1

7. Example 1 pg. 17 Evaluate using Properties
Evaluate and name the property used in each step − ÷5− ÷5−2 Substitution 12−8 = −2 Substitution (15÷5)= Substitution (3−2)= Multiplicative inverse =1 1+3 Multiplicative identity 3 1 =3 4 Substitution 1+3=4

8. Commutative Property
The order in which you add or multiply numbers does not change their sum or product. 4+12=12+4 4∙12=12∙4

9. Associative Property
The way you group three or more numbers when adding or multiplying does not change their sum or product = ∙ 4∙7 = 2∙4 ∙7
