A(B+C)=AB+AC, and
(B+C)A+BA+BC
Term
Domain
Definition

Term
Function
Definition
A relation in which every domain value is paired with exactly on range of value.
Term
Function Notation
Definition
If x is the independent variable and y is the dependent variable, then the function notation for y is f(x), read "f of x" where f names the function
Term
