Let * be a binary operation on the set Q of rational numbers given as a * b = (2a – b)2, a, b ∈ Q. Find 3 * 5 and 5 * 3. Is 3 * 5 = 5 * 3 ?
Let f : R → R be defined as f (x) = 3 x. Choose the correct answer. (A) f is one-one onto (B) f is many-one onto (C) f is one-one but not onto (D) f is neither onc-one nor onto.
how that the function f : R* → R* defined by
is one-one and onto, where R* is the set of all non-zero real numbers. Is the result true, if the domain R* is replaced by N with co-domain being same as R*?
Show that the modulus function f : R → R, given by f (x) = | x |, is neither one-one nor onto, where |x| is x, if x is positive or 0 and | x | is —x, if. x negative.
Let A= R × R and * be a binary operation on A defined by
(a, b) * (c, d) = (a+c, b+d)
Show that * is commutative and associative. Find the identity element for *
on A. Also find the inverse of every element (a, b) ∈ A.
(a, b) * (c, d) = (a + c, b + d)
(i) Commutative
(a, b) * (c, d) = (a+c, b+d)
(c, d) * (a, b) = (c+a, d+b)
for all, a, b, c, d ∈ R
* is commulative on A
(ii) Associative : ______
(a, b), (c, d), (e, f) ∈A
{ (a, b) * (c, d) } * (e, f)
= (a + c, b+d) * (e, f)
= ((a + c) + e, (b + d) + f)
= (a + (c + e), b + (d + f))
= (a*b) * ( c+d, d+f)
= (a*b) {(c, d) * (e, f)}
is associative on A
Let (x, y) be the identity element in A.
then,
(a, b) * (x, y) = (a, b) for all (a,b) ∈ A
(a + x, b+y) = (a, b) for all (a, b) ∈ A
a + x = a, b + y = b for all (a, b) ∈ A
x = 0, y = 0
(0, 0) ∈ A
(0, 0) is the identity element in A.
Let (a, b) be an invertible element of A.
(a, b) * (c, d) = (0, 0) = (c, d) * (a, b)
(a+c, b+d) = (0, 0) = (c+a, d+b)
a + c = 0 b + d = 0
a = - c b = - d
c = - a d = - b
(a, b) is an invertible element of A, in such a case the inverse of (a, b) is (-a, -b).
Let A = Q × Q, where Q is the set of all rational numbers, and * be a binary operation on A defined by (a, b) * (c, d) = (ac, b+ad) for (a, b), (c, d) A. Then find
