Question

verify the property a×(b×c)=(a×b)×c by taking a=-5/2,b=16/3c=-1​

Answer 1

Answer:

40/9 = 40/9 (LHS = RHS) ; hence verified

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a = - 5/2 ; b = 16/3 ; c = - 1/3                                                                               a*(b*c) = -5/2 * (16/3 * - 1/3) = +(5*16)/(3*3*2) = 80/18 = 40/9                                             (a*b)*c = (-5/2 * 16/3) * - 1/3 = +(5*16)/(2*3*3) = 80/18 = 40/9
