Question

The following expression represents the identity property of Multiplication: 3*0=0(1 point)
Responses

Answer 1

The expression \( 3 \times 0 = 0 \) does not represent the identity property of multiplication. Instead, it illustrates the property that any number multiplied by zero equals zero, known as the zero property of multiplication.

The identity property of multiplication states that any number multiplied by 1 remains unchanged, written mathematically as \( a \times 1 = a \) for any number \( a \). For example, \( 3 \times 1 = 3 \).

So, the correct response to your statement is that the given expression demonstrates the zero property of multiplication, not the identity property.
