(3 x 10) x 8 = 3 x (10 x 8)
this is called the associative property of multiplication.
it states : (a * b) * c = a * (b * c)

Answer:

Associative property of multiplication

Step-by-step explanation:

By the associative property of multiplication,

During multiplying three terms we can multiply any of two first ( that is we can grouped any two by parenthesis )

if a, b and c are any number,

$\implies (a\times b)\times c=a\times (b\times c)$

Hence, in the problem,

$(3\times 10)\times 8=3\times (10\times 8)$

Associative property of multiplication is used.

Suppose f is a function which follows this pattern, where x and h are any numbers: f(a + h) = f(a)*f(h) Which type of function i

fomenos

$f$ has to be a <em>power</em> function in order to satisfy the recurrence pattern $f(x + h) = f(x) \cdot f(h)$

<h3>Procedure - Determination of a function with a pattern.</h3>

In this case, we must assume a given function and check such assumption fulfill the given recurrence. Let suppose that $f(x) = a^{x}$ , by algebra we have the following property:

$f(x + h) = a^{x+h} = a^{x}\cdot a^{h}$ (1)

And by the definition given in statement, we have the following conclusion:

$f(x+h) = a^{x}\cdot a^{h} = f(x) \cdot f(h)$ (2)

Therefore, $f$ has to be a <em>power</em> function in order to satisfy the recurrence pattern $f(x + h) = f(x) \cdot f(h)$ . $\blacksquare$
