On the set Q^(+) of all positive rational number define an operation * on Q^(+)by a*b =(ab)/(2) forall a,b in Q^(+) Show that (i) * is a binary operation on Q^(+)(ii) * is commutative (iii)* is associative Find the identify element in Q^(+) for * Whast is the inverseof a in Q^(+)?

Answer»


SOLUTION :`a*e=a RARR e=2`
`a*b=2 rarr(ab)/(2)=2 rarr b=4/a rarr a^(-1) =(4)/(a)`
