Find the whichof theoperations given abovehas identity ?

Answer»

Solution :(i) Q , a*B= a-b
Leta* e = a e*a
`rArr""a- e = a= e - a `
Now, `""a-e=a rArre=0`
and `"" e-a = a rArr e =2a`
butthe identity is alwaysunique.
`THEREFORE` In Q the identity elements does notexist with
respect to the operationa*b = a-b
(ii) In Q,`"a * b" = a^(2) +b^(2)`
Leta* e = a * a
`rArr""a^(2) + e^(2) =a = e^(2) + a^(2)`
If a=-2 then e does not exist.
`therefore` In Q, the identityelements does not exist with
respect to the operate a* b `= a^(2) + b^(2)`
(iii)In Q, a *b `= a^(2) + b^(2)`
Let a * e = a = e * a
`rArr` a + ae = a=e + ea
Now , a + ae = a `rArr` ae = 0 `rArr` e = 0
ande + ea = `rArr e =(a)/(1+a), a NE 0`
but the identify element is always unique
`therefore` In Q, the identity element does not exist with
respect to the OPERATION a * b = a + ab.
(IV) InQ, `""a * b = (a-b)^(2)`
`rArr""(a -e)^(2) a = (e-a)^(2)`
For `"'" a=-3`
`""(-3-e)^(2) = - 3`Whichis not possible.
`therefore` In Q the identity element does not exist with
respect to the operation a * b `= (-b)^(2)`
(v) In Q, `a** b = (ab)/(4)`
Let a* e= a = e*a.
`rArr(ae)/(4) = a= (ea)/(4)`
`rArre =4`
`therefore` Operation`a ** b = (ab)/(4)`
(vi) In Q , `a*b = ab^(2)`
Let a*e = a = e*a
`rArr ""ae^(2) =a = ea^(2)`
Now `""ae^(2) = a "" rArr"" e = pm 1`
`and "" a=ea^(2) "" rArr ""e = (1)/(a)`
but the identity element is always unique.
`therefore` In Q ·the identity element does not exist with
respect to the operation `a ** b = ab^(2)`
