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)

a)yes

b) no

c) no

d) no

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, that the associative property of the addition says that if then

(a+b)+c=a+(b+c).

Then

a) with a=-4, b=i, c=4i, says that

(a+b)+c=a+(b+c).

Then the equation (–4 + i) + 4i = –4 + (i + 4i) is an example of the associative property of addition.

b) Observe that with a=-4, b=i and c=4i, the equation (–4 + i) + 4i = 4i + (–4i + i) can be represented as

(a+b)+c=c+(a+b)

Which no represent the associative property

c) the equation is using the operator , that is, is using the multiplication. Then c doesn't represent the associative property of addition.

d) with a=-4i, b=i, c=0, the equation (–4 + i) + 0=(–4i + i) can be represented as

(a+b)+c=(a+b)

Then no show an example of the associative property of addition.

the central idea is that:

individuals should refuse to cooperate with institutions they believe unjust.

thoreau felt  that governments were more often agents of corruption than justice, even democracies, and that just because the majority feels a certain way does not make it just or correct in absolute terms. he uses the fact that slavery exists in our democracy to support this idea.

he goes on to say that, as a result, people should live true to their own internal laws regarding right and wrong, as a product of reflection and a moral life, rather than following every law that society imposes.

hi! i think the answer is 1/2 : )
