Commutative and Associative Properties

Day 1

Commutative Property of Addition: The order in which the terms of a sum are added does not change the sum.a + b = b + a5 + 7 = 7 + 5 12= 12Commutative Property of Multiplication: The order in which the terms of a product are multiplied does not change the product.ab = ba4(5) = 5(4)

Associative Property of Addition: The order in which the terms of a sum are grouped does not change the sum.(a + b) + c = a + (b + c)(2 + 3) + 4 = 2 + (3 + 4) 5 + 4 = 2 + 7

9 = 9

The Associative Property is particularly useful when you are combining integers.

Example:-15 + 9 + (-4)=-15 + (-4) + 9= Changing it this way allows for the -19 + 9 = negatives to be added together first. -10

Associative Property of Multiplication: The order in which the terms of a product are grouped does not change the product.

1 Identify the property of -5 + 3 = 3 + (-5)A Commutative Property of Addition B Commutative Property of Multiplication C Associative Property of Addition D Associative Property of Multiplication

2 Identify the property of a + (b + c) = (a + c) + bA Commutative Property of Addition B Commutative Property of Multiplication C Associative Property of Addition D Associative Property of Multiplication

3 Identify the property of (3 x -4) x 8 = 3 x (-4 x 8)A Commutative Property of AdditionB Commutative Property of MultiplicationC Associative Property of AdditionD Asociative Property of Multiplication

Discuss why using the associative property would be useful with the following problems:

1. 4 + 3 + (-4)

2. -9 x 3 x 0

3. -5 x 7 x -2

4. -8 + 1 + (-6)

Combining Like Terms

Term – can be a number, a variable,or a product of numbers and variables

Coefficient – a number that isMultiplied by a variable in an algebriacexpression

2x2

2x2Coefficient

Exponent

Variable

An Expression - contains numbers, variables and at least one operation.

Like terms: terms in an expression that have the same variable raised to the same power

Examples:

LIKE TERMS NOT LIKE TERMS

6x and 2x 6x2 and 2x

5y and 8y 5x and 8y

4x2 and 7x2 4x2y and 7xy2

Group the Like Terms

2t 3y2 7t k

4z x2

5a 4.5y2

4 Identify all of the terms like 2x

A 5xB 3x2

C 5yD 12yE 2

5 Identify all of the terms like 8y

A 9yB 4y2

C 7yD 8E -18x

6 Identify all of the terms like 8xy

A 8xB 3x2yC 39xyD 4yE -8xy

7 Identify all of the terms like 2y

A 51wB 2xC 3yD 2wE -10y

8 Identify all of the terms like 14x2

A -5xB 8x2

C 13y2

D xE -x2

If two or more like terms are being added or subtracted, they can be combined.

To combine like terms add/subtract the coefficient but leave the variable alone.

7x +8x =15x9v-2v = 7v

Sometimes there are constant terms that can be combined.9 + 2f + 6 =9 + 2f + 6 =

2f + 15Sometimes there will be both coeffients and constants to

be combined.3g + 7 + 8g - 2

11g + 5Notice that the sign before a given term goes with the

number.

It helps if you circle each term firstincluding the operation sign beforethe numbers, variables, and constants.
