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?

The commutative property of addition states that two or more numbers can be added in any order, and the results will be same.

Example:

Similarly, the commutative property of multiplication states that two or more numbers can be multiplied in any order, and the results will be same.

Example:

or

Subtraction does not have a commutative property because a - b gives a different result than does b - a.

Also this does not work on divisions as a/b is not equal to b/a.
