Section 1-4: Identity and Equality Properties Notes

Additive Identity: Multiplication Properties:

Property Words Symbols Examples

Multiplicative

Identity

For any number a, the

product of a and 1 is a.

Multiplicative

Property of Zero

For any number a, the

product of a and 0 is 0.

Multiplicative

Inverse

For every number ba ,

where a and b do not

equal 0, there is

exactly one number ab

such that the product

of ba and

ab is 1.

Properties of Equality:

Property Words Symbols Examples

Reflexive Any quantity is equal to itself.

Symmetric

If one quantity equals a second quantity,

then the second quantity equals the

first.

Transitive

If one quantity equals a second quantity and

the second quantity equals a third

quantity, then the first quantity equals the

third quantity.

Substitution A quantity may be substituted for its

equal in any expression.

Example #1: Name the property used in each equation. Then find the value of n.

a.) 012 =•n

b.) 151=•n
