Question 477607: Please help me with those problems. Thanks a lot!!!
Multiplication is commutative because x*y = y *x for all x and y. Multiplication is associative
because x *(y *z) = (x *y) *z. The identity of multiplication is 1, because x*1 = x for all x.
Let a & b = a + ab + b for all a and b.
(a) Is the operation & commutative?
(b) Is the operation & associative?
(c) What number is the identity of &?
(d) What number is the inverse of 3 with respect to &? (Recall that the inverse of 3 with
respect to multiplication is 1/3 because 3 * 1/3 equals the identity of multiplication.)
