43. Determine whether or not each of the definition of given below gives a binary operation. In the event that * is not a binary operation, give justification for this.

(i) On Z+ , define * by a * b = a − b

(ii) On Z+, define * by a * b = ab

(iii) On R, define * by a * b = ab2

(iv) On Z+, define * by a * b = |a − b|

(v) On Z+, define * by a * b = a

    (i) On Z+, * is defined by a * b = a − b.

    It is not a binary operation as the image of (1, 2) under * is 1 * 2 = 1 − 2= −1 ∉ Z+.

    (ii) On Z+, * is defined by a * b = ab.

    It is seen that for each a, b ∈ Z+, there is a unique element ab in Z+.

    This means that * carries each pair (a, b) to a unique element a * b = ab in Z+.

    Therefore, * is a binary operation.

    (iii) On R, * is defined by a * b = ab2.

    It is seen that for each a, b ∈ R, there is a unique element ab2 in R. 

    This means that * carries each pair (a, b) to a unique element a * b = ab2 in R.

    Therefore, * is a binary operation.

    (iv) On Z+, * is defi

So n (R1 – R2) = 66 – 20 = 46

f is increasing function

x < 5x < 7x

f (x) < f (5x) < f (7x)

  f ( x ) f ( x ) < f ( 5 x ) f ( x ) < f ( 7 x ) f ( x )           

l i m x f ( x ) f ( x ) < l i m x f ( 5 x ) f ( x ) < l i m x f ( 7 x ) f ( x )             

-> 1 < l i m x f ( 5 x ) f ( x ) < 1 l i m x f ( 5 x ) f ( x ) = 1

Given f (k) = { k + 1 , k i s o d d k , k i s e v e n

  ? g : A A           such that g (f (x) = f (x)

Case I : If x is even then g (x) = x . (i)

Case II : If x is odd then g (x + 1) = x + 1 . (ii)

From (i) & (ii), g (x) = x, when x is even

So total no. of functions = 105 × 1 = 105
