If a is negative, then its opposite, Ϫa, is positive. For instance, if a ϭ Ϫ5, then Ϫa ϭ Ϫ ͑Ϫ5͒ ϭ 5. Properties of Zero Let a and b be real numbers, variables, or algebraic expressions. Then the following properties are true. 1. a ϩ 0 ϭ a and aϪ0ϭa 2. a и 0 ϭ 0 3. 0 ϭ 0, a 4. a is undefined. 0 a 0 5. Zero-Factor Property: If ab ϭ 0, then a ϭ 0 or b ϭ 0.
