Ing to the Associative property, when 3 or more numbers are added or multiplied, the result (sum or the product) remains the same even if the numbers are grouped in a different way. Here, grouping is done with the help of brackets. This can be expressed as, a × (b × c) = (a × b) × c and a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c.
Closure Property: This tells us that the result of the division of two Whole Numbers might differ. For example, 14 ÷ 7 = 2 (whole number) but 7 ÷ 14 = ½ (not a whole number).
Closure Property: When something is closed, the output will be the same type of object as the inputs. For instance, adding two integers will output an integer. Adding two polynomials will output a polynomial.
Understand that polynomials form a system analogous to the integers, namely, they are closed under the operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication; add, subtract, and multiply polynomials.
If we add two integers, subtract one from the other, or multiply them, the result is another integer. The same thing is true for polynomials: combining polynomials by adding, subtracting, or multiplying will always give us another polynomial.
The closure property for polynomials states that the sum, difference, and product of two polynomials is also a polynomial. However, the closure property does not hold for division, as dividing two polynomials does not always result in a polynomial. Consider the following example: Let P(x)=x2+1 and Q(x)=x.
CLOSURE: Polynomials will be closed under an operation if the operation produces another polynomial. Adding polynomials creates another polynomial. Subtracting polynomials creates another polynomail. Multiplying polynomials creates another polynomial.
The operation that shows polynomials are a closed system under addition is simply the operation of adding two polynomials together. This is because the sum of two polynomials results in another polynomial.
In this case, we performed subtraction on two elements from the set of polynomials and the result was another polynomial - that is because the set of polynomials is closed under subtraction. Whether a set is closed or not becomes very important in later math.
