anyway so I'm recalling that so we're
0:02
going to talk about on chapter 1.3 which
0:04
is properties right and then properties
0:07
are pretty fun again we are still
0:09
working on like the simple stuff so it's
0:11
not really that complicated so
0:13
properties really deal with like in this
0:16
case like uh integers and more most
0:19
likely like positive integers okay so
0:22
we're going to talk about a community
0:23
property the associative and also we
0:25
going to talk about the additive
0:27
identity multiplicative identity and
0:29
multipli the multiplicative property of
0:32
zero all right these are pretty easy
0:34
stuff it's just the terminology that
0:37
could be a little bit confusing
0:39
sometimes so now who knows about a
0:41
communative property without looking at
0:43
the board can you tell me what it is
0:45
without looking have you heard about a
0:47
commutative properties without looking
0:49
at the board yeah um I'm not sure uh but
0:54
I think that means like multiple
0:56
different kind of numbers can add up to
0:58
the same answer like different kind of
1:01
numbers can add up to the same answer is
1:03
that quite right uh
1:05
Danielle Abigail yeah what do you think
1:09
it's
1:11
like um if you add something like or if
1:15
you switch it around or if it's like
1:17
just different numbers and it adds that
1:20
as the same switch Yeah okay switch it
1:22
around all right okay that's what I
1:25
meant all right a what do you
1:27
think the community property without
1:30
looking at the board and he answers what
1:31
what does he mean the community
1:44
property you be the same answer right so
1:47
yes Lee um May I write down the
1:49
definitions of the different types of
1:51
properties yeah I am very prone to
1:53
forget them yeah that's fine you can
1:55
write it own am I dealing with yeah you
1:57
you can write it so and this is going to
1:59
be a so you can always go back and watch
2:01
it right so to like she say now the
2:04
communative property it only applies to
2:06
the addition and the multiplication it
2:09
does not apply to anything else but
2:10
addition and multiplication so
2:13
basically the order in which numbers are
2:17
added or multiplied does not change the
2:20
sum or the product you guys TR in some
2:23
ways to explain that okay so what I'm
2:26
saying is this symbolically It Means A
2:28
plus b is the same as B plus a right if
2:32
I say for example Alina plus uh Abigail
2:37
and abalina am I changing anything it's
2:41
the same thing right if I say ab and
2:44
Caleb and Caleb and ab it's still the
2:46
same thing cuz just because I switch the
2:49
way I'm ordering them doesn't mean that
2:52
it's not the same people it's still the
2:54
same people right so a plus b is the
2:57
same as B plus a all right that's the
3:00
community property Community right and
3:02
then it applies to
3:04
multiplication in what ways a * B is the
3:08
same as B * a so 2 * 3 is 6 and 3 * 2 is
3:15
6 right so that does not change anything
3:18
so if you it whether you multiply uh two
3:21
numbers in a in a certain order it
3:24
doesn't change it if you switch it
3:26
around right so a * B is equal to B * a
3:30
and then a + b is equal b + a when it
3:33
comes to addition right and
3:35
multiplication this is also true so we
3:37
have the same thing here 2 + 3 is the
3:40
same as saying 3 + 2 all right 5 + 4 is
3:45
the same as saying 4 + 5 so those are
3:48
that's called a communative property the
3:50
communative
3:59
then the next one that we're going to
4:01
discuss is called the associative right
4:04
the associative property so the
4:05
associative is also an interesting one
4:09
because by definition it means that the
4:11
order in which numbers are grouped when
4:14
added or multiplied does not change the
4:18
sum or the product right so if I have a
4:21
sequence of three numbers right and I
4:24
put a plus b plus C in
4:27
parenthesis I'm going to get the same
4:29
thing if I go a plus b in parentheses
4:31
plus C in other words if I do 2 + 3 + 4
4:37
like this as an example is the same as 2
4:39
+ 3 +
4:41
4 right it doesn't change it just
4:45
because I put a parenthesis here or I
4:47
bracket these two together does not
4:48
change the
4:49
outcome right the way you group them
4:51
doesn't matter right cuz you're going to
4:53
get you going to get the same result so
4:56
again the associative law works not only
5:00
for the addition but it also works for
5:03
the multiplication okay so basically if
5:06
I do two times and I bracket three and
5:09
four together I'm going to get the same
5:11
thing if I group two and three together
5:13
and then times them by four it's still
5:14
going to give me
5:17
24 does that make sense guys all right
5:20
so the associative and the communative
5:23
property they both they apply both for
5:25
the addition and the
5:27
multiplication okay so they apply for
5:46
to and then the next thing we're going
5:48
to discuss
5:49
is there's like three more properties
5:52
that apply both for the addition and the
5:54
modification right
5:56
so the additive identity
6:00
or if you want to shorten
6:03
AI what does AI also stand for who knows
6:07
intelligence artificial intelligence
6:09
right ai ai so but in this chapter AI
6:13
stands for what artive
6:16
identity right and what does it mean how
6:19
would you define this uh let's
6:22
see uh Kinsley you haven't talked this
6:25
one yet so how would you define the
6:26
additive identity based on this syb here
6:30
how would you word to
6:34
somebody how would you like Define this
6:36
let's say you were work with a brother
6:39
like your younger brother if you have
6:40
one right and he goes I don't understand
6:42
the ative identity how would you define
6:46
isal what is this so how would you work
6:51
that um I don't
6:54
know so think about some things all
6:59
right what about you what do you think
7:01
how would you define that in
7:03
words say it
7:06
again say you switch what though what
7:08
number is being added to the
7:10
eight what number is being added to the
7:13
eight what's
7:15
that zero right zero does that look like
7:19
anything else you thought it was
7:22
o
7:24
yeah so how would you word that to
7:26
somebody
7:28
um maybe
7:30
if you add any number to zero it doesn't
7:33
add anything like say I have three
7:36
fingers and then I add zero fingers I
7:39
still have three fingers that's exactly
7:40
right yes this is a little bit off topic
7:43
but if do the weekends count as days
7:46
missing no so there only days in school
7:50
that it counts as right technically em
7:53
so anyway so the addtive identity is
7:55
this if you add zero to any number you
7:58
get the same number right it doesn't
8:01
change it if I have $20 and I add
8:05
nothing to my $20 how much do I
8:10
have $20 $20 right so if you add zero to
8:14
some a number it doesn't change it it's
8:15
still the same number so that's what it
8:17
means right now the multiplicative
8:22
identity is MI right in this case if you
8:25
multiply any number by one what do you
8:27
get
8:30
any number by one yes number one by one
8:34
the same thing right a * 1 is = 1 * is
8:37
equal 8 right 3 * 1 is 3 1 * 3 is 3 if
8:42
you take any number you times it by one
8:44
you're going to get the same thing so
8:46
that's called a multiplicative identity
8:49
okay and then the last one is
8:52
npz is called the multiplicative
8:55
property of zero which means if you
8:57
times any number by Zer you always going
8:59
to get zero so that's pretty much what
9:03
this is okay so now uh the next thing
9:06
we're going to do is we're going to talk
9:08
about
9:10
um division here and I want to ask you
9:13
guys a question let's see if this this
9:15
work
9:19
so can I eras this no no no all right
9:23
can I erase this yes no no no you can
9:26
erase that one can I eras the first one
9:28
all right
9:31
all
9:33
right now notice that all these rules
9:36
only apply for what that we just
9:39
mentioned what kind of operation have
9:42
been all these rules that we just
9:44
mentioned they applied only for what
9:48
multiplication add right they apply for
9:51
addition and multiplication so notice I
9:53
didn't include Division and that did not
9:56
include subtraction right is three - 2
9:59
the same as 2 - 3 no no so the uh
10:03
subtraction cannot be commutative you
10:06
can't do that
10:08
right but now let's do this
10:11
here
10:14
is we are discussing again whole numbers
10:17
is
10:20
division of whole
10:25
numbers associated
10:38
right is division of whole numbers
10:40
Associated what am I asking here
10:43
no is the question making sense is the
10:45
thing is division of whole numbers
10:47
associative no no now
10:50
remember when you say no what do you
10:52
have to
10:54
do yeah explain prove it explain it
10:58
right can anybody here let me go off
11:00
track for a second can you prove that
11:02
God
11:04
exists can you yeah how for the Miracles
11:08
he done in the Bible oh he said because
11:11
of what the Miracles that he's done for
11:13
us in the Bible the miracle that he's
11:15
done for us in the Bible right now
11:17
listen to that now what if I say to
11:20
you that's your Bible I don't believe
11:24
what the Bible says so can you prove
11:27
outside of the Bible that God exists
11:31
yes I can prove how because he changed
11:35
my life okay now listen to
11:38
this I've been given two examples right
11:41
and listen carefully she said because of
11:43
what the Bible said that he did Miracles
11:46
right and then she says because he's
11:47
changed her life that's your life not my
11:50
life so how can you prove objectively
11:54
that God exist yes like the just nature
11:59
like how honeycomb is perfectly slanted
12:02
so the honey can stay in the hexagons
12:04
okay so what if I say happened by
12:10
chance what what if I say that's just
12:12
chance okay that doesn't prove that God
12:15
existed that's just honeycomb and
12:17
whatever fing you're stubborn H finger
12:20
stubborn oh now she call me stubbornly I
12:23
guess now you see this right now how can
12:25
you prove that now here's your homework
12:28
this is just outside you guys going to
12:30
go and
12:31
prove that God exists I don't want you
12:33
to use the Bible I don't want you to use
12:37
I just want you to show me how can you
12:39
prove without an objection that God
12:42
exists that's going to be a homework
12:44
that you guys could do on your spare
12:45
time it's not you don't have to turn it
12:46
in I'm just saying yes yeah you don't I
12:50
mean if you turn in that's fine you
12:52
might get some extra credit but I want
12:53
you to prove to me that God exists yes
12:56
on paper yeah you can write it you can
12:58
you can write that and tell me God exist
13:00
because of again you don't have to do it
13:02
if you feel like you feel like want to
13:03
take on the challenge I want you to
13:05
prove to me that God exist suppose I'm
13:07
an atheist right I don't believe that
13:10
God exists can you disprove the fact
13:13
that God does not
13:15
exist yeah how many paragraphs I don't
13:19
care paragraphs it could be one sentence
13:21
it could be two sentence I just want
13:23
show me that exist anyway so I'm saying
13:27
all this to say that this right is
13:29
division of whole numbers associative
13:31
when you say that no you got to give me
13:34
what something that we call a counter
13:37
example right A C example is how can you
13:40
prove that division of four numbers is
13:42
not associative then you have to prove
13:43
it to me right so basically you can take
13:46
a number right
13:48
I8 right divided
13:52
by
13:55
4 ID by 2 right so my my job is to try
14:00
to prove that this is not equal to what
14:03
8 right /
14:07
by 4 / two because this is the
14:11
associative law if this was to be true
14:13
these two would be what the same right
14:15
but now I'm going to try to prove that
14:17
because this and these are not the same
14:19
therefore division cannot be Associated
14:21
because if it's true for one thing it
14:23
has to be true for everything right and
14:25
if it's false for one thing that means
14:27
it does not hold does that make
14:30
all right so now let's try to prove this
14:33
how would I how how would I do this here
14:35
8 4 2 um four all right so we're going
14:40
to use pmas right so I'm going to go
14:43
from left to right so let's try to do
14:45
this 8 / 4 / two so what's 8id 4 two and
14:53
then what's 2 ID two one now let's try
14:56
the next one right we're going to do
14:58
eight
15:00
/ by 4 / two right so what do we do
15:05
first 4 4 by two right we get what two
15:09
and then that's 8 ID by two that is four
15:13
look at the result different answer yeah
15:15
different answer so therefore we
15:16
conclude that division is not
15:20
associative right so you cannot use this
15:22
for you can use division you can use the
15:24
associative law for division it only
15:26
applies to what multiplication and
15:29
addition right now let me ask you a
15:31
couple questions here I want you to name
15:33
the property that's being shown by each
15:35
statement okay so let's make let's do
15:37
some
15:57
examples for
16:32
so your job is to identify the property
16:35
that is being used here okay so let's
16:38
try and do this
16:39
together see if you guys remember see if
16:41
you took not then you should be able to
16:43
have to know now you can use like uh
16:45
initials if you don't want to write the
16:47
entire thing so the first one here 4
16:51
plus parenthesis a + 3 = a + 3 parth + 4
16:56
what law is being used there
17:00
what property am I using
17:02
here think about it for a
17:05
second
17:08
yes everybody agrees associative
17:11
property is that right you agree
17:14
nor associative all right
17:20
associative we can just call it a right
17:23
to make it easy now the next one 1 * 3x
17:28
=
17:29
3x yes
17:33
keny multiplica identity everybody
17:35
agrees y multiplicative identity right
17:38
multiplicative identity m m i or
17:44
Mi all right Next One D + 0 =
17:49
D you raising your
17:52
hand
17:54
like so what is it yes
17:59
identity that's
18:00
correct AI right Mr yes should we be
18:05
writing down the equations and what they
18:07
mean yeah yeah you should write that cuz
18:10
you want to retain the information yeah
18:12
on paper or um whatever you choose to do
18:16
and then you all know this is available
18:18
so I can send you the link so if you
18:20
feel like I don't want to write this I
18:21
just going to go watch the video later
18:22
that's that's up to you yeah are you
18:24
going to send on goog classroom or yeah
18:26
your CL yeah you
18:29
have 8 * 1 =
18:33
8 uh I want the boys to speak today uh
18:37
Caleb what's that you can just say the
18:39
initial you don't have to say the whole
18:40
thing what is this 8 * 1 =
18:47
8 m i thank you mi I there you go good
18:52
job and then last one 5 * 7 * 2 = 7 * 2
18:59
*
19:08
5 yes
19:10
anybody uh yes
19:13
asso associative um I would say probably
19:18
not but you were Clos what do you
19:23
think community community community
19:27
right
19:30
M because you see here I did not group
19:33
them you see like for it to be
19:35
Associated they have to be group a
19:37
certain way with parentheses there's no
19:38
parentheses so all I did here was just
19:40
switch the positioning you see so this
19:42
is the communative right so you can call
19:44
commu C you can use the letter c for
19:46
that all right
19:51
so let's keep
19:56
moving all so now we're going to learn
19:58
how to
19:59
simplify algebraic expressions
20:03
okay so we're going to learn how to
20:06
simplify algebric expressions
20:30
all right so we're going to learn how to
20:31
simplify stuff like
20:47
this I want you all to try it on your
20:49
own first and then we're going to go
20:51
once you you do it I want to come check
20:53
your stuff and then we can go from
20:55
there so how would you simplify when I
20:57
say simplify what am I saying when I say
20:59
simplify solve it solve it right make it
21:03
more simple this one is a little bit
21:05
more complex but I have 3 + x + 7 and we
21:09
talk about algebraic expressions it has
21:11
numbers and variables right so now I
21:14
want you to simplify this instead of
21:16
instead of leaving it as like 3 + x + 7
21:19
I want you to make it more
21:22
simple don't know what x is you don't
21:24
need to know what x is right you don't
21:26
need to know what x is to make to to
21:28
simplify it yeah you're just trying to
21:29
make it more simple it's still a complex
21:31
operation I have 3 + x + 7 I want to
21:34
make it look simpler yeah 10 10 plus X
21:39
that's 10 plus X right you jump ahead of
21:42
me so how did you get the 10 plus x what
21:44
did you do she said 10 + x so how did
21:47
she do it yeah cuz 7 * 7 + 3 is 10 and
21:52
then you don't know what x is you don't
21:53
know the x is right so what do we
21:55
combine we combine what these are called
21:57
what kind of terms are is like terms
21:59
like terms it's the word like terms
22:02
thank you very much right so basically
22:04
we are using our we are rearranging it
22:06
so this is 3 + 7 + x so these are called
22:10
like terms right these two here are like
22:14
terms right like terms because they look
22:17
the
22:18
same right like terms so 3 + 7 that is
22:23
10 + x now can I combine 10 and x no I
22:26
can't because they're not like terms
22:28
it's just X okay so I'm going to leave
22:31
it as X now if I give you a value for x
22:33
now you can find it but here X is not
22:36
known X is unknown so this is just going
22:38
to be 10 + x does that make
22:42
sense okay so how how would you do the
22:44
next one 8 * x * 5 yes I've already it
22:48
what do you have so I first did 8 * 5 40
22:52
okay so then my answer would be 40 * x
22:54
40 * X right cuz again these are like
22:58
terms right so
23:01
40x 40x okay 40x or 40 *
23:12
X all right so now with that say we're
