Example Question #1 : Abstract Algebra
Which of the following is an identity element of the binary operation ?
Defining the binary operation will help in understanding the identity element. Say is a set and the binary operator is defined as for all given pairs in .
Then there exists an identity element in such that given,
Therefore, looking at the possible answer selections the correct answer is,
Example Question #2 : Abstract Algebra
Which of the following illustrates the inverse element?
