Let * be binary operation defined on R by a * b = 1 + ab, ∀ a, b ∈ R. Then the operation * is (i) commutative but not associative (ii) associative but not commutative (iii) neither commutative nor associative (iv) both commutative and associative
Dear StudentGiven that * is a binary operation defined on R by a * b = 1 + ab,∀a, b∈RSo, we have a * b = ab + 1 = b * aSo, * is a commutative binary operation.Now, a * (b * c) = a * (1 + bc) = 1 + a (1 + bc) = 1 + a + abc(a * b) * c = (1 + ab) * c = 1 + (1 + ab) c = 1 + c + abcTherefore, a * (b * c) ≠ (a * b) * cHence, * is not associative.Thus, * is commutative but not associative.Thanks
