1. Properties of Real Numbers

2. 2 PROPERTIES OF REAL NUMBERS COMMUTATIVE PROPERTY: Addition:a + b = b + a 5 + 7 = 7 + 5 1 + 6 = 6 + 1 3.6 + 1.1 = 1.1 + 3.6 Multiplication: 9 6 4 20 = 6 9 6.4 5.2 = 20 4 = 5.2 6.4 For any real numbers a, b, and c: a b = b a Standards 6, 25 PRESENTATION CREATED BY SIMON PEREZ.

3. 3 PROPERTIES OF REAL NUMBERS ASSOCIATIVE PROPERTY: Addition:(a + b) + c = a + (b + c) (3 + 4) +1 = 3 + (4 + 1) (2 + 5) + 7 = 2 + (5 + 7) (6.2 + 4.1) +3.3 = 6.2 + (4.1 + 3.3) Multiplication: For any real numbers a, b, and c: 15 4 7 2 3 5 4 7 2 3 5 = 34 45 6 = 34 45 6 5.7 7.2 2.3 = a b c= a b c Standards 6, 25 PRESENTATION CREATED BY SIMON PEREZ.

4. 4 PROPERTIES OF REAL NUMBERS IDENTITY PROPERTY: Addition:a + 0 = 0 + a=a 5 + 0 = 0 + 5 1 + 0 = 0 + 1 3.6 + 0 = 0 + 3.6 Multiplication: 9 1 4 1 = 1 9 6.4 1 = 1 4 = 1 6.4 For any real numbers a, b, and c: a 1 = 1 a = a = 9 = 4 = 6.4 = 5 = 1 = 3.6 Standards 6, 25 PRESENTATION CREATED BY SIMON PEREZ.
