Real numbers form a fundamental mathematical concept encompassing rational and irrational numbers. Understanding the properties of real numbers is essential for solving equations, simplifying expressions, and mastering various mathematical disciplines. In this article, we will engage in a multiple-choice question (MCQ) format to explore and reinforce our knowledge of the property of real number.

Property of Real Number

In this article, “property of real number” refer to closure, commutative, associative, identity, and zero properties. These are vital for solving mathematical problems and building a strong foundation in algebra and beyond. In other words, the properties of real numbers are just one of the basic foundations of mathematics.

Closure Property of Real Number

According to the closure property of Real Number, the sum or product of real numbers is always a real number.

  • a+b=Real Number
  • a \times b=Real Number

Examples of closure property are

  • 3+8=11
  • 3 \times 8=24

Commutative Property of Real Number

According to the commutative property of real number, changing the position or order of two Real Numbers in Adding or Multiplying does not change the final result.

  • a+b=b+a
  • a \times b=b \times a

Examples:

  1. 2+8=8+2
    10=10
  2. 2 \times 8=8 \times 2
    16=16

Associative Property of Real Number

According to the associative property of real number, changing the grouping of the real numbers in Adding or Multiplying does not change the final result.

  • a+(b+c)=(a+b)+c
  • a \times (b \times c)=(a \times b) \times c

Example Addition:
3+(4+5)=(3+4)+5
3+9=7+5
12=12

Example Multiplication:
3 \times (4 \times 5)=(3 \times 4) \times 5
3 \times 20=12 \times 5
60=60

Additive Identity

Zero (0) is called Additive Identity because adding “0” to any real number, the result will be the real number itself.

  • a+0=a

Example:
3+0=3

Multiplicative Identity

1 is called Multiplicative Identity because multiplying “1” to any real number, the result will be the real number itself.

  • a×1=a

Example:
3×1=3

Additive Inverse

If we add a real number to its opposite real number, the result will always be zero (0).

  • a+(-a)=0

Example:
2+(-2)=0

Multiplicative Inverse

If we multiply a real number to its reciprocal real number, the result will always be “1”.

  • a \times \frac{1}{a}=1

Example:
-5\times \frac{1}{-5}=1

Distributive Property of Real Numbers

  1. According to the Distributive Property of Real Numbers over Addition states:
  • a \times (b+c)=(a \times b)+(a \times c)

Example:
2 \times (4+1)=(2 \times 4)+(2 \times 1)
2 \times 5=8+2
10=10

  1. According to the Distributive Property of Real Numbers over Subtraction states:
  • a \times (b-c)=(a \times b)-(a \times c)

Example:
2 \times (4-1)=(2 \times 4)-(2 \times 1)
2 \times 3=8-2
6=6
