Comment on Activity 3

In this list, the functions described in (i), (ii), (iv), and (vi) are not multiplicative. For example, for (i) we have

but

For (vi) we have

but

On the other hand, the function On the other hand, the square and square root functions are both multiplicative. In fact, any power function f with a description of the form

is multiplicative. To see this we calculate

Again, multiplicative functions would seem to be rather rare.
