The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following statements is not true, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Given Options: 1. \( a + b = b + a \) 2. \( a - b = b - a \) 3. \( a \times b = b \times a \) 4. \( \frac{a}{b} = a \times \frac{1}{b} \) ### Step 1: Analyze Option 1 - **Statement**: \( a + b = b + a \) - **Explanation**: This statement represents the commutative property of addition, which states that the order of addition does not affect the sum. - **Conclusion**: This statement is true. ### Step 2: Analyze Option 2 - **Statement**: \( a - b = b - a \) - **Explanation**: This statement suggests that subtraction is commutative, which is not true. The order in which you subtract numbers matters. - **Conclusion**: This statement is not true. ### Step 3: Analyze Option 3 - **Statement**: \( a \times b = b \times a \) - **Explanation**: This statement represents the commutative property of multiplication, which states that the order of multiplication does not affect the product. - **Conclusion**: This statement is true. ### Step 4: Analyze Option 4 - **Statement**: \( \frac{a}{b} = a \times \frac{1}{b} \) - **Explanation**: This statement is a representation of division as multiplication by the reciprocal. It is a valid mathematical identity. - **Conclusion**: This statement is true. ### Final Conclusion After analyzing all options, we find that: - Option 1 is true. - Option 2 is not true. - Option 3 is true. - Option 4 is true. Thus, the option that is not true is **Option 2**: \( a - b = b - a \). ---
