Problem 1

Choose the correct response The identity element for addition is \(\mathbf{A} .-\bar{a}\) \(\mathbf{B} .0\) \(\begin{array}{ll}{\text { C. } 1} & {\text { D. } \frac{1}{a}}\end{array}\)

Problem 2

Choose the correct response The identity element for multiplication is \(\mathbf{A} .-a\) \(\begin{array}{lll}{\text { B. } 0} & {\text { C. } 1} & {\text { D. } \frac{1}{a}}\end{array}\)

Problem 3

Choose the correct response The additive inverse of \(a\) is \(\mathbf{A} .-a\) \(\begin{array}{lll}{\text { B. } 0} & {\text { C. } 1} & {\text { D. } \frac{1}{a}}\end{array}\)
