Determine whether or not each definition * given below gives a binary operation. In the event that * is not a binary operation give justification of this.On R, defined * by a*b = ab2Here, Z+ denotes the set of all non – negative integers. |

Answer» Given that ‘*’ is an operation that is valid in the Real Numbers ‘R’ and it is defined as given: ⇒ a*b = ab2, where a,b∈R Since a∈R and b∈R, According to the problem it is given that on applying the operation ‘*’ for two given real numbers it gives a real number as a result of the operation, ⇒ a*b∈R ...... (1) We know that ab∈R if a∈R and b∈R ∴ The operation * defines a binary operation on R. |
