DEFINITION

The word “binary” means composition of

two pieces.
A binary operation refers to joining the
values to create a new one.
CLOSURE PROPERTY
Addition: The sum of any two real numbers is
also a real number.
Example : 12 + 34 = 46
Multiplication: The product of any two real
numbers is also a real number.
Example: 7 x 20 = 140
COMMUTATIVE PROPERTY
Addition: For any two real numbers x and y,
x+y=y+x

Example : 5 + 12 = 12 + 5
17 = 17
COMMUTATIVE PROPERTY

Multiplication: For any two real numbers x and y,

x•y=y•x

Example : 8 x 5 = 5 x 8
40 = 40
TRY THIS:

1. Let a= 4 and b= -6
2. Let a= 10 and b= -3
ASSOCIATIVE PROPERTY
Addition: For any real numbers x, y and z,
x + (y + z) = (x + y) + z

Example : 3 + (10 + 9) = (3 + 10) + 9

3 + 19 = 13 + 9
22 = 22
ASSOCIATIVE PROPERTY
Multiplication: For any real numbers x,
y and z, x • (y • z) = (x • y) • z

Example : 3 • (2 • 6) = (3 • 2) • 6
3 • 12 = 6 • 6
36 = 36
TRY THIS:

1. Let a= 2 , b= 3 and c=4

2. Let a= 10, b= 4 and c= 6

IDENTITY PROPERTY
Addition: For any two real numbers x, x + 0 = x.
the number “0” is called the additive identity.
Example : 78 + 0 = 78

Multiplication: For any two real numbers x, x •

1 = x. the number “1” is called the multiplicative
identity.
Example: 98 • 1 = 98
DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY OF MULTIPLICATION
OVER ADDITION
For any real numbers x, y and z,
x(y+z)= xy + xz
Using the distributive property, write the equivalent
expressions of the following:
1. a(-x+y-z) = -ax+ay-az
2. -5(7g+8h+9i)= -35g-40h-45i
3. M(7-19)= 7M – 19M = -12M
INVERSE OF BINARY OPERATIONS
Addition: For any two real numbers x, x + (-x)=0

Example : 78 + (-78) = 0

Multiplication: For any two real numbers x,

1
x • = 1.
𝑥
1
Example: 98 • =1
98
