b.ama b
Submit
a b c d
0.a=0
· 1 = a

Answer 1

Explanation:

Identity means to get itself

For multiplication,

if you multiplied a number by 0, you would not get that number again, you would get 0. so multiplying by 0 is not and identity

ex. (a)(0)=0 does not = a so this is not an identity

if you multiplied a number by 1, yes that would be an identity because any number times 1 is itself

ex. a(1)=a multiplied by 1 the number is itself, so yes this is an identity.

Answer 2

1=a
