What is another word for distributivity?
Pronunciation: [dˌɪstɹɪbjuːtˈɪvɪti] (IPA) 
Distributivity is a mathematical concept that describes the behavior of operations, where one operation distributes over another. Essentially, distributivity demonstrates how two operations interact with each other. Synonyms for distributivity might include proportionality, equivalence, commutativity, or linearity. These words all describe the same general idea - that two operations interact in a specific and predictable way. For example, if we think about multiplication and addition as operations, distributivity tells us that a(b+c) = ab + ac. In other words, multiplication distributes over addition. There are many other examples of distributivity in different mathematical contexts, and each one demonstrates the fundamental relationships between different operations.
