Verify the property x × (y × z) = (x × y) × z of rational numbers by using x = 1, y = -½ 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, 1 × (-½ × ¼) = (1 × -½) × ¼ LHS = 1 × (-½ × ¼) = 1 × (-1/8) = -1/8 RHS = (1 × -½) × ¼ = (-½) × ¼ = -1/8 By comparing LHS and RHS LHS = RHS ∴ -1/8 = -1/8 Hence x × (y × z) = (x × y) × z |
