This module is from Fundamentals of Mathematics by Denny Burzynski and Wade Ellis, Jr. This module summarizes the concepts discussed in the chapter "Multiplication and Division of Whole Numbers."

Summary of key concepts

Multiplication ( [link] )

Multiplication is a description of repeated addition.
7 + 7 + 7 + 7 7 appears 4 times
This expression is described by writing 4 X 7.

Multiplicand/multiplier/product ( [link] )

In a multiplication of whole numbers, the repeated addend is called the multiplicand , and the number that records the number of times the multiplicand is used is the multiplier . The result of the multiplication is the product .

Factors ( [link] )

In a multiplication, the numbers being multiplied are also called factors . Thus, the multiplicand and the multiplier can be called factors.

Division ( [link] )

Division is a description of repeated subtraction.

Dividend/divisor/quotient ( [link] )

In a division, the number divided into is called the dividend , and the number dividing into the dividend is called the divisor . The result of the division is called the quotient .
quotient divisor dividend

Division into zero ( [link] )

Zero divided by any nonzero whole number is zero.

Division by zero ( [link] )

Division by zero does not name a whole number. It is, therefore, undefined. The quotient 0 0 size 12{ { {0} over {0} } } {} is indeterminant.

Division by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 ( [link] )

Division by the whole numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10 can be determined by noting some certain properties of the particular whole number.

Commutative property of multiplication ( [link] )

The product of two whole numbers is the same regardless of the order of the factors. 3 × 5 = 5 × 3 size 12{3 times 5=5 times 3} {}

Associative property of multiplication ( [link] )

If three whole numbers are to be multiplied, the product will be the same if the first two are multiplied first and then that product is multiplied by the third, or if the second two are multiplied first and then that product is multiplied by the first.
( 3 × 5 ) × 2 = 3 × ( 5 × 2 ) size 12{ \( 3 times 5 \) times 2=3 times \( 5 times 2 \) } {}
Note that the order of the factors is maintained.

Multiplicative identity ( [link] )

The whole number 1 is called the multiplicative identity since any whole number multiplied by 1 is not changed.
4 × 1 = 4 size 12{4 times 1=4} {}
1 × 4 = 4 size 12{1 times 4=4} {}

Communication is effective because it allows individuals to share ideas, thoughts, and information with others.
effective communication can lead to improved outcomes in various settings, including personal relationships, business environments, and educational settings. By communicating effectively, individuals can negotiate effectively, solve problems collaboratively, and work towards common goals.

Every time someone flushes a toilet in the apartment building, the person begins to jumb back automatically after hearing the flush, before the water temperature changes. Identify the types of learning, if it is classical conditioning identify the NS, UCS, CS and CR. If it is operant conditioning, identify the type of consequence positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement or punishment

because it helps many people around the world to understand how to interact with other people and understand them well, for example at work (job).

Agreed 👍 There are many parts of our brains and behaviors, we really need to get to know. Blessings for everyone and happy Sunday!

Isn't practices worldwide, be it psychology, be it science. isn't much just a false belief of control over something the mind cannot truly comprehend?

explain how nature and nurture affect the development and later the productivity of an individual.
Amesalu Reply
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.

I am taking this course because I am hoping that I could somehow learn more about my chosen field of interest and due to the fact that being a PsyD really ignites my passion as an individual the more I hope to learn about developing and literally explore the complexity of my critical thinking skills
