In the second step, the distributive law is used to simplify each of the two terms. Note that this process involves a total of three applications of the distributive property. In contrast to the FOIL method, the method using distributivity can be applied easily to products with more terms such as trinomials and higher.
Examples of structures with two operations that are each distributive over the other are Boolean algebras such as the algebra of sets or the switching algebra. Multiplying sums can be put into words as follows: When a sum is multiplied by a sum, multiply each summand of a sum with each summand of the other sum (keeping track of signs) then add ...
In a non-distributive lattice, there may be elements that are distributive, but not dual distributive (and vice versa). For example, in the depicted pentagon lattice N 5, the element x is distributive, [2] but not dual distributive, since x ∧ (y ∨ z) = x ∧ 1 = x ≠ z = 0 ∨ z = (x ∧ y) ∨ (x ∧ z).
A simple example is the Fermat factorization method, which considers the sequence of numbers :=, for := ⌈ ⌉ +. If one of the x i {\displaystyle x_{i}} equals a perfect square b 2 {\displaystyle b^{2}} , then N = a i 2 − b 2 = ( a i + b ) ( a i − b ) {\displaystyle N=a_{i}^{2}-b^{2}=(a_{i}+b)(a_{i}-b)} is a (potentially non-trivial ...
Conversely, if this "distributive property" holds for all non-negative real numbers, and , then the set is convex. [6] An example of a non-convex set such that +. The figure to the right shows an example of a non-convex set for which +.
For example, an element of a distributive lattice is meet-prime if and only if it is meet-irreducible, though the latter is in general a weaker property. By duality, the same is true for join-prime and join-irreducible elements. [7] If a lattice is distributive, its covering relation forms a median graph. [8]
For example, the number of shuffles having the 1st, 3rd, and 17th cards in the correct position is the same as the number of shuffles having the 2nd, 5th, and 13th cards in the correct positions. It only matters that of the n cards, 3 were chosen to be in the correct position.
