Which of the following operations is commutative in R:(a) a*b = a2b(b) a*b = ab(c) a*b = a – b + ab(d) a * b = a + b + a2b |
|
Answer» (a) ∵ a*b=ab and b*a = b2a ∴ a*b ≠ b*a So, operation is not commutative. (b) ∵ a*b = ab and b*a = ba ∴ a*b ≠ b*a So, operation is not commutative. (c) ∵ a*b = a – a + ab and b*a = b – a + ba ∴ a*b* ≠ b*a So, operation is not commutative. (d) ∵ a*b= a + b + a2b and : b*a = b + a + b2a ∴ a*b* ≠ b*a So, operation is not commutative. Hence, any of these operation is not commutative. |
