Answer:

Sample answer: Functions contain variables that just represent numbers, so they should have the same properties. The order in which you multiply them shouldn't matter, but it will for division. Multiplication with functions is commutative, but division is not.

Explanation:

What did you include in your answer?

Variables represent real numbers, so they should have their properties.

Commutative property applies for multiplication.

Commutative property does not apply for division.

SECLECT ALL.

Hope this helps :)
