Important Questions from Binary Operations

1multiple choice

A binary operation * is associative if:

Show answer

(a*b)*c = a*(b*c) for all a, b, c ∈ A

Associativity means grouping (brackets) doesn't matter: (a*b)*c = a*(b*c) for all elements.

2multiple choice

The identity element e for addition on ℝ is:

3multiple choice

The identity element for multiplication on ℝ is:

Show answer

1

a × 1 = 1 × a = a for all a ∈ ℝ. So 1 is the multiplicative identity.

4multiple choice

The inverse of element a under addition on ℝ is:

Show answer

−a

a + (−a) = 0 = identity. So the additive inverse of a is −a.
