Distribute

Usage

Further Examples

This expresses the distributive law of multiplication over addition.

In[1]:=  

Out[1]=

Here is an equivalent way to write the input.

In[2]:=  

Out[2]=

This is how taking a power distributes over addition.

In[3]:=  

Out[3]=

We can generalize this to an arbitrary function.

In[4]:=  

Out[4]=

Here we distribute over a product instead of a sum (two variations).

In[5]:=  

Out[5]=

In[6]:=  

Out[6]=

This does the same thing as PowerExpand.

In[7]:=  

Out[7]=

In[8]:=  

Out[8]=

The defined function Subsums gives all possible sums of sublists of a list.

In[9]:=  

In[10]:=  

Out[10]=

The defined function TruthTable gives the truth table corresponding to a logical expression. DisplayTruthTable displays the output from TruthTable in tabular form.

In[11]:=  

In[12]:=  

This gives the truth table for Implies[Or[A, B], C].

In[13]:=  

Out[13]=
