Which of the following shows why the commutative property doesn't work under subtraction

Hello!  To answer your question, you first need to know what the commutative property is and does.  Down to the basics, it lets you switch around numbers and it would allow me to say that 2+5=7 and 5+2=7.  This property also works in multiplication, because if I take 4*2=8, and 2*4 still equals 8.  Now that I've either refreshed or hopefully helped you to understand the property better, why wouldn't it work under subtraction?  If you switch numbers around in subtraction, will your answer still be the same?  Once you answer that, take a peak at the worksheet!  I hope this has helped in some way, and if you have any further questions send me a question or another message.  Good luck :)

Answer with explanation:

Commutative property under subtraction:

If a and b are any two real numbers such that,⇒ a-b =b-a, then we say that ,a and b Satisfy Commutative property under Subtraction.

Take any two real numbers

a=5.6

And,b=7

→a-b

=5.6-7

= -1.4

→b-a

=7-5.6

=1.4

So,a-b≠b-a

Therefore  , we can say that, real numbers doesn't satisfy commutative property under subtraction.

Option D: ⇒5-1≠1-5

This statement shows that, commutative property doesn't work under subtraction.

Can you guys help please im so confused
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

a) see below

b) 40x20 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Write down what you know:

- The area of the enclosure is length*width, so

A = x \cdot y

- The length of the fencing is 80 meters, so

2y + x = 80

Now we have to combine these two equations above, and get rid of y in the process.

First rewrite the second as:

y = 40 - \frac12 x

Then substitute for y in the first:

A = x (40 - \frac12 x) = 40x - \frac12x^2

b) To maximize A, find the zero of the first derivative:

A'(x) = 40 - x = 0 \implies x=40

So y = (80-40)/2 = 20 meters.

Explain how your knowledge of place value helps you divide a number in the thousands by whole numbers to ten . Give an example t
poizon [28]

Place value is the value individual digit has in its location: in order from higher to lower value, there is thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones.
When you divide by 10, you are affecting (only once) every digit from its current place value to the right.
For example 1000 divided by 10 = 100, you have relocated every digit to the right, making the zero dissolve (or better yet, divided by a hidden and in this case unusable comma).
