    The document discusses operations and order of operations on real numbers. It covers the basic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It then explains the order of operations as: 1) operations in parentheses, 2) multiplication and division from left to right, and 3) addition and subtraction from left to right. The document also discusses properties of real numbers including commutative, associative, and distributive properties. It provides examples to demonstrate applying these properties when evaluating expressions.

    Operations on

    Real Numbers

    Operations on Real Numbers


    Real Numbers can be combined using the familiar operations:

    Addition

    Subtraction
    Multiplication
    Division

    Order of Operations on Real Numbers

    When evaluation arithmetic expressions that contain


    several of these operations, we use the following
    convention to determine the order in which
    operations are performed.

    Order of Operations on Real Numbers

    1.

    Perform operations inside parenthesis first


    beginning with the innermost pair.
    In dividing two expressions, the numerator and
    denominator of the quotient are treated as if
    they are within parentheses.

    Order of Operations on Real Numbers


    2.

    Perform all multiplication and division


    Working from left to right.

    3.

    Perform all addition and subtraction


    Working from left to right.

    Evaluating an Arithmetic Expression


    Find the value of the expression

    Evaluating an Arithmetic Expression


    First we evaluate the numerator and denominator of the quotient
    Recall, these are treated as if they are inside parentheses

    Properties of
    Real Numbers

    Commutative Property
    a+b=b+a
    ab = ba
    when we add or multiply two numbers, the order
    of addition or multiplication doesnt matter.

    Associative Property
    (a + b) + c = a + (b + c)
    (ab)c = a(bc)
    when we add or multiply three numbers, it doesnt
    matter which two we add or multiply first.

    Distributive Property

    Whenever we multiply
    a number by a sum.

    2 (3 + 5)

    2x3

    2x5

    Using the properties

    Example (a)

    2 + (3 + 7)
    = 2 + (7 + 3)

    (Commutative Property of Addition)

    = (2 + 7) + 3

    (Associative Property of Addition)

    Using the properties

    Example (b)

    2(x + 3)
    = 2(x) + 2(3)
    = 2x + 6

    (Distributive Property)

    (Simplify)

    Using the properties

    Example (c)

    (a + b)(x + y)
    = x(a + b) + y(a + b)

    (Distributive Property)

    = (ax + bx) + (ay + by)

    (Distributive Property)

    = ax + bx + ay + by

    (Associative Property)

    Addition and
    Subtraction

    Additive Identity

    The number 0 is special for addition.

    It is called the ADDITIVE IDENTITY.

    Subtraction

    Every real number a has a negative,


    -a, that satisfies a + (-a) = 0.
    Subtraction undoes addition.
