Verify the property: \(x\times y=y\times x\) by taking:i) \(x=\frac{-1}{3},y=\frac{2}{7}\)ii) \(x=2,y=\frac{7}{-8}\)iii) \(x=0,y=\frac{-15}{8}\)

Answer»

i)  By using the property

x × y = y × x

\(\frac{-1}{3}\times\frac{2}{7}=\frac{2}{7}\times\frac{-1}{3}\\=\frac{(-1\times2)}{(3\times7)}=\frac{(2\times-1)}{(7\times3)}\\=\frac{-2}{21}=\frac{-2}{21}\)

\(\therefore\) the property is satisfied.

ii) By using the property

    x × y = y × x

\(=2\times\frac{7}{-8}=\frac{7}{-8}\times2\\=\frac{(2\times7)}{-8}=\frac{(7\times2)}{-8}\\=\frac{14}{-8}=\frac{14}{-8}\)

\(\therefore\) the property is satisfied.

iii) By using the property

   x × y = y × x

\(0\times\frac{-15}{8}=\frac{-15}{8}\times0\\=0=0\)

\(\therefore\)  the property is satisfied.
