4(a ⋅ b) = (4 ⋅ a)b is an example of which algebraic property?
Okay. So It is definitely not 2. Transitive property or 3. Reflexive property. Then It's not 4. Commutative property of multiplication because even though you are just moving things around in a different order, 1. is a better answer because it involves parenthesis.
Answer:
Associative property
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: 4(a ⋅ b) = (4 ⋅ a)b
Here we are multiply 3 number 4, a and b.
Associative property: It is algebra property to multiply or add three or more numbers.
So, first we have to associate two number and then multiply.
For Left side, we associate a and b.
⇒ 4(a ⋅ b)
For right side, we associate 4 and a
⇒ (4 ⋅ a)b
Here, we used associate property of algebra for multiply.
