Question

Match each term to their definition.

1. additive identity the number 1 (for the real numbers)
2. distributive property equation containing more than one variable
3. literal equation the number 0 (for the real numbers)
4. multiplicative 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
5. multiplicative inverse a(b + c) = ab + ac or a(b - c) = ab - ac

Answer 1

Explanation:

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 quation 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

The above are the numbers with their matches.

Answer 2

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

Hope this helps. Have a nice day.
