1. Prove that the formula a *b= a2b2 defines a binary operation on the set of all reals R. Is this operation associative? Justify. (10 points) 2. Let G be a group. Assume that for every two elements a and b in G (ab)2ab2 Prove that G is an abelian group. (10 points)
1. Let G = {a, b, c, d, e} be a set with an associative binary operation multiplication such that ab = ba = d, ed = de = c. Prove that G under this multiplication cannot consist of a group. Hint: Assume that G under this operation does consist of a group. Try to complete the multiplication table and deduce a contradiction. 2. Let G be a group containing 4 elements a, b, c, and d. Under the group...
Consider the following examples of a set S and a binary operation on S. Show with proof that the binary operation is indeed a binary operation, whether the binary operation has an identity, whether each element has an inverse, and whether the binary operation is associative. Hence, determine whether the set S is a group under the given binary operation. (f) S quadratic residues in Z101 under multiplication modulo 101

5) Determine whether the given definition does give a binary operation on the indicated set. In other words determine whether the given ser is closed under the given operation. • If so, prove that it satisfies closure. . If not, find a counter-example and show how it fails closure. e. On K = { : a, b e m}, under usual matrix multiplication X.
Let G be a finite set with an associative, binary operation given by a table in which each element of the set G appears exactly once in each row and column. Prove that G is a group. How do you recognize the identity element? How do you recognize the inverse of an element? (abstract algebra)
