Properties of real numbers w.r.t Addition:


a + bR, for all a, b R is .......property w.r.t of real numbers.
a) closure
b) commutative 
c) additive identity         

a

Explanation:For example 2 and 3 are both real numbers and their sum 2+3=5 is also a real number



If a + b = b + a, for all a, b R is........property of real numbers.
a) closure
b) commutative
c) associative        

b

Explanation:For all 3 and 4 belongs to real number 3+4=4+3           7=7



(a+b)+c=a+(b+c), for all a,b,cR is........property of real 
a) closure   
b) commutative   
c) associative

c

Explanation:For example for all 2, 3, 4  R                                             
(2 + 3) + 4 = 2 + (3 + 4) 
5+4   = 2+ 7 9 =  9



There exist a unique real number……....called additive identity, such that 
a+0=a=0+a, for all a
R
a) 1        
b) 0                         
c)-1    
d) All 

b

Explanation:additive identity is something that have no effect on original value while adding i.e. for 5  R  5+0 = 5 = 0+5  5 = 5



Additive inverse of a real number b is………
a) 1          
b) -1.                                       
c) b           
d) -b
