Determinewhether or not eachof thedefinition of given below gives a binary operation. In theevent that isnot a binary operation, given justificantion for this. (i) On Z^(+), define * by a * b = a- b (ii)On Z^(+), define * by a * b = ab (iii) On R,define * by a * b - ab^(2) (iv) On Z^(+), define * by a *b = |a - b| (v)On Z^(+), define * by a* b = a

Answer»

Solution :In `Z^(+), a ** B =a - b`
`2**3 = 2-3 = -1 in Z^(+)`
`THEREFORE` Given operation is notbinary.
(ii) In `Z^(+), a ** b = ab`
The product of every TWO positive intergers is a positiveinterger.
`therefore` Given operations is binary.
(iii) In R,`a ** b= ab^(2)`
The square of every real NUMBERIS always a real number.
(iv)In `Z^(+) , ""a**b = a`
The modulus of the difference ofevery two positiveinteger.
`therefore` Givenoperation in binary.
(v)`In Z^(+), "" a**b=a`
For each `a,b in Z^(+)`
`""a * b = a in Z^(+)`
`therefore` Given operation is binary.
