Think about the commutative property of real-number operations as it applies to addition and subtraction of functions. How do you think this property might extend to multiplication and division of functions?

ANSWERS is 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.

My Answer:

Functions contain variables with numbers, so they should have the same properties. Multiplying them shouldn't matter, but dividing them will. Divide doesn't multiply commutatively, but functions do.
