The Commutative Property of Multiplication states that the order in which two numbers are multiplied does not change the product. In other words,
Let's analyze each option:
-
- This represents the Distributive Property, not the Commutative Property. -
- This also illustrates the Commutative Property as it shows that multiplying by can be done in either order. -
- This is a correct use of the Commutative Property as well, since it shows that the expression inside the parentheses can be rearranged. -
- This is incorrect as the operations are not correctly illustrated.
Therefore, the options that demonstrate the use of the Commutative Property of Multiplication are options 2 and 3. However, specifically for identifying the "use" of the Commutative Property prominently, option 3 is the clearest demonstration of the property.
Final answer: 3(b^{10}+4) = 3(4+b^{10})
