　　每日一題：

　　Mathematics>Standard Multiple Choice

　　Read the following SAT test question and then click on a button to select your answer.

　　-(a-1)(b-1)(c-1)

　　Which of the following is equivalent to the expression above?

　　A. (1-a)(b-1)(1-c)

　　B. -(1-c)(1-b)(1-a)

　　C. (c-1)(1-b)(a-1)

　　D. -(a-1)(1-b)(c-1)

　　答案：C

　　解析：

　　Choice C is correct. Subtraction is not commutative. (p-1) is not the same as (1-p).

　　However, it is true that (1-p)=-(p-1): p-1=space-(-p+1) space=space-(1-p)

　　We can conclude that when the order of two factors being subtracted in an expression is changed, it is the same as multiplying the original expression by-1.

　　Start with the original expression -1*(a-1)(b-1)(c-1) and change the order of the subtraction for one set of parentheses: -1*-1*(a-1)(1-b)(c-1)=(a-1)(1-b)(c-1)

　　Multiplication is commutative, so we can reorder the parenthesized groups to get (c-1)(1-b)(a-1).
