defined by uv(x) = u(v(x)) for each x Î X. We shall refer to this operation as multiplication on F. The multiplication table is as follows:

Note h and g are the only elements that have inverses and h is its own inverse as is g.Distributive PropertiesSuppose there are two binary operations and defined on a set A.
