3. a) Theorem : The identity element if it exist for any algebraic structure is unique. Proof: Let S be a set with binary operation • : S x S -> S and e and e' be left and right identity elements of S respectively. ⇒ e, e' ∈ S For an associative relation (e • s) • e' = e • (s • e') Ɐ s ∈ S [Given] ⇒ s • e' = e • s ⇒ s = s Thus, e = e' b) Here, e and e' were the two identity elements which then condensed to one. Thus for every Set S, if identity exists then it must be unique. Proof: Let, e and e' be two identity elements of S. ⇒ e, e' ∈ S Let, e be the identity element ⇒ e • e' = e', ....(1) Let, e' be the identity element ⇒ e' • e = e, ....(2) from equation (1) and (2), we get e = e' Thus, identity element is unique if it exists.

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)
Question 9. Let (A-) be a binary structure. When the book defined identity, it meant 2 sided identity, but it is also possible to talk about one sided (right and left) identities. Come up with a reasonable definition of the terms: left identity (denoted by ez) and right identity denoted by eR). (a) Is it true that, if a left (respectively, right) identity exists, then it is unique? If it is true, prove it; if it is false, provide a...
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...
binary operation (S Problem 5 (Bonus 1 point). Lemma 1 in lectures says that for an associative b ) with identity, inverse of an invertible element is uni que. Construct a bin ary operation on the set S- a, b, c) such that a is the identity element and there is at least one invertible element with two distinct inverses, or ezplain why this is not possible binary operation (S Problem 5 (Bonus 1 point). Lemma 1 in lectures says...
Let S = {x ER:[x]<1}=(-1,1). We will refer to E as hyperbolic relativity space. Now a+b define a binary operation by: if a,beR and ab +-1, then aob= 1+ ab Proposition 1. (5,0) is a group. Remark. This is the kind of problem that every student should become competent at doing. Perhaps some of the details here are more challenging than normally but understanding what are the steps to follow in such a problem is basic, and everyone should understand...
Let G = {1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 13} and let represent the binary operation of multiplication modulo 14. (a) Prove that (G, ) is a group. (You may assume that multiplication is associative.) (b) List the cyclic subgroups of (G, ). (c) Explain why (G, ) is not isomorphic to the symmetric group S3. (d) State an isomorphism between (G, ) and (Z6, +).
Question 2. Recall that a monoid is a set M together with a binary op- eration (r,y) →エ. y from M × M to M, and a unit element e E/, such that: . the operation is associative: for all x, y, z E M we have (z-y): z = the unit element satisfies the left identity axiom: for all r E M we have the unit element satisfies the right identity axiom: for all a EM we Let K...

(b) For 0 <k <n, let T be the set of all elements of S with exactly k occurrences of 3's. Determine |Tx I, and prove it using a bijection. In your solution, you need to define a set Ax that involves subsets and/or cartesian products with known cardinalities. Then clearly define your bijection...

Express in the language of the FOL the following mathematical statement: If S is a set of elements and * is a binary operation in S for which the following four assumptions hold, where = is an equivalence relation: a. S is closed under * ( if x and y are in S then x * y is also in S) b. * is associative (x, y, and z in S (x * y) * z = x *...
