Match each term to their definition.

  1. additive identity the number 1 (for the real numbers)
  2. distributive property equation containing more than one variable
  3. literal equation the number 0 (for the real numbers)
  4. multiplicative identity the reciprocal of a number; if x is a number other than zero, then 1/x is the multiplicative inverse; the product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is 1
  5. multiplicative inverse a(b + c) = ab + ac or a(b - c) = ab - ac

Verified Answer :

  1. additive identity 
    the number 0 (for the real numbers) 

    2. distributive property 
     a(b + c) = ab + ac or a(b - c) = ab - ac 

    3. literal equation 
    equation containing more than one variable 

    4. multiplicative identity 
    the number 1 (for the real numbers) 

    5. multiplicative inverse
    the reciprocal of a number; if x is a number other than zero, then 1/x is the multiplicative inverse; the product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is 1 

    Hope this helps. Have a nice day.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. additive identity                  the number 0 (for the real numbers) 

2. distributive property         a(b + c) = ab + ac or a(b - c) = ab - ac 

3. literal equation                  quation containing more than one   variable 

4. multiplicative identity        the number 1 (for the real numbers) 

5. multiplicative inverse         the reciprocal of a number; if x is a number other than zero, then 1/x is the multiplicative inverse; the product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is 1 

The above are the numbers with their matches.
