Problem Set

I. In exercise 1 through 6, determine whether the binary operation ¿ gives a group structure on the given
set. If no group results, give the first axiom in the order G1 ,G2 , G 3 that does not hold
1. Let ¿ be defined on Z by a∗b=ab
2. Let ¿ be defined on 2 Z= { 2n / n∈ Z } by a∗b=a+ b
3. Let ¿ be defined on R by a∗b=ab
4. Let ¿ be defined on R+¿ ¿ by a∗b=√ ab  
a
5. Let ¿ be defined on R¿ by a∗b=
b
6. Show that the set U of all complex numbers of norm 1 with operation multiplication is a group.
7. Construct a group table on the Z10 , and ¿ defined as ordinary addition. Answer the following:
a. What is the identity element?
b. What is the inverse of 8?
c. Calculate 9+ 7.
d. Calculate 2 + 9 + 8
e. Solve for x: 7 + x = 3
f. Solve for x: 5 + x = 1
8. Construct a group table on the residue classes modulo 8 relatively prime to 8, where ¿ defined as ordinary
multiplication. Then answer the following:
a. What is the identity element?
b. What is the inverse of 7?
c. Calculate 9 ¿ 7.
d. Calculate 3 ¿ 9 ¿ 7
e. Solve for x: 3 ¿ x = 3
f. Solve for x: 5 ¿ x = 1
9. Using problem 7 and 8. Solve the following:
a. x 2+ 6 x+5=2
b. x 2=8 x +3
c. 3 x 2+3 x=9
