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. |
