The additive identity is the number zero because zero plus any number is equal to the original number. For example, 2 + 0 = 0 + 2 = 2.
1

identity for multiplication

The identity for multiplication (also called the multiplicative identity) is one, because a times 1 = 1 times a = a. For example, 2 times 1 = 1 times 2 = 2.

< less than (1<2)
> greater than (2>1)
≤ less than or equal to
≥ greater than or equal to
≠ not equal to (1≠2).

intersection

inverse property of addition

The inverse property of addition states that for every number a, a + (-a) = 0 (zero).


inverse property of multiplication

The inverse property of multiplication states that for every non-zero number a, a times (1/a) = 1.


irrational number

An irrational number is a number that cannot be written as a fraction (like a/b, where a and b are whole numbers and b is ≠ 0). For example, the square root of 2 is an irrational number.
