Question

Which equation demonstrates the multiplicative identity property?

Answer 1

Answer: Further explanation

There are several number operations that involve multiplication:

1. commutative

2. associative

3. closed

Multiplication between integers will produce integers too

4. distributive property

* addition

* substraction

5. identity

The multiplicative identity property is a multiplicative property in mathematics where each number multiplied by 1 will produce the original number or can be stated simply  :

"The product of any number and one is that number"

So The Multiplicative Identity is 1

can be stated in the formula:

From the available answer choices

a) (- 3 + 5i) + 0 = -3 + 5i

this is an addition operation and not multiplication while O is an identity in the sum operation, so the statement is false

b) (-3 + 5i) (1) = -3 + 5i

this is a multiplication operation and 1 is a Multiplicative Identity of multiplication, so the statement is true

c) (-3 + 5i) (-3 + 5i) = -16-30i

d) (-3 + 5i) (-3 + 5i) = 16 + 30i

choice c and is a multiplication factor, so the statement is false
