Aiko is finding the sum (4 + 5i) + (–3 + 7i). She rewrites the sum as (–3 + 7)i + (4 + 5)i. Which statement explains the error Aiko made by using a mathematical property incorrectly?

A
Aiko incorrectly used the commutative property by changing the order of the two complex numbers.
B
Aiko incorrectly used the associative property by changing the order of the two complex numbers.
C
Aiko incorrectly used the identity property by combining the real number and the coefficient of the imaginary part.
D
Aiko incorrectly used the distributive property by combining the real number and the coefficient of the imaginary part.

Question illustration
A
He did not apply the distributive property correctly for 4(1 + 3i).

commutative property
B
identity property
C
associative property
D
inverse property
8

Which equation shows an example of the associative property of addition?

A
(–4 + i) + 4i = –4 + (i + 4i)
B
(–4 + i) + 4i = 4i + (–4i + i)
C
4i × (–4i + i) = (4i – 4i) + (4i × i)
D
(–4i + i) + 0 = (–4i + i)
