The Closure Property: The closure property of a whole number says that when we add two Whole Numbers, the result will always be a whole number. For example, 3 + 4 = 7 (whole number).
Closure property is one of the basic properties used in math. By definition, closure property means the set is closed. This means any operation conducted on elements within a set gives a result which is within the same set of elements. Closure property helps us understand the characteristics or nature of a set.
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.
Property 1: Closure Property The closure property of integers under addition and subtraction states that the sum or difference of any two integers will always be an integer. if p and q are any two integers, p + q and p − q will also be an integer. Example : 7 – 4 = 3; 7 + (−4) = 3; both are integers.
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.
Polynomials form a system similar to the system of integers, in that polynomials are closed under the operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication. CLOSURE: Polynomials will be closed under an operation if the operation produces another polynomial. Adding polynomials creates another polynomial.
For example, the sum of any two natural numbers is again a natural number and hence the set of natural numbers is closed with respect to addition. However, the set of natural numbers is NOT closed with respect to subtraction as the difference of two natural numbers (example: 3 - 5 = -2) need not be a natural number.
