Question

Verify the property x * (y * z) = (x * y) * z of rational numbers by using x =1, y = -1/2 and z = 1/4 and what is the name of this property?
please answer this question it is urgent

Answer 1

l

Step-by-step explanation:

LHS = x×(y×z)

Putting x=1 , y= -1 /2, z= 1/4

x×(y×z) = 1×{(-1/2)×1/4}

= 1×(-1/8)= -1/8

RHS= (x×y)×z

Putting x=1 , y= -1 /2, z= 1/4

(x×y)×z = {1×(-1/2)}×1/4

= (-1/2)×1/4

= -1/8

LHS = RHS

Hence verified

This property is called commutative property of multiplication
