Verify the property x × (y × z) = (x × y) × z of rational numbers by using x = -2/7, y = -5/6 and z = ¼ |
Answer» In the question is given to verify the property x × (y × z) = (x × y) × z The arrangement of the given rational number is as per the rule of associative property for multiplication. Then, (-2/7) × (-5/6 × ¼) = ((-2/7) × (-5/6)) × ¼ LHS = (-2/7) × (-5/6 × ¼) = (-2/7) × (-5/24) = 10/168 RHS = ((-2/7) × (-5/6)) × ¼ = (10/42) × ¼ = 10/168 By comparing LHS and RHS LHS = RHS ∴ 10/168 = 10/168 Hence x × (y × z) = (x × y) × z |
