a. Draw an arrow diagram for R.

2  6
 3  8
 4  10

2. Define a relation S from R to R as follows:

For all (x,y) Є R x R, (x,y) Є S means that x > y.
a. Is (2,1)Є S?
Yes
b. Is (2,2) Є S?
Yes
c. Is 2 S 3?
No
d. Is (-1) S (-2)?
No
e. Give an example of the set satisfying the said condition.
(3,3)
3. A binary operation is defined one the set {1,2,3,4}. The table shows the
16 possible answers using this operation.
a. What is 1 * 3?
2
b. What is 4 * 2?
2
c. Is * commutative? Explain
Yes, because no matter where you place or arrange the numbers
interchangeably, the answer would still be the same. You can multiply or add in
any order.
d. Is * associative? Explain
Yes, because when you add or multiply, you can group the number in any
combination and the result would still be the same.
e. Is there identity element in *?
Yes, it is 1.

4. Let the binary operation *, be defined as a * b = a + 3b - 1 , where a and b are real

numbers.
a. What is 2 * 3?
2 + 3(3) – 1 = 2 + 9 -1
= 11 – 1
= 10
b. Is * commutative?
a*b=b*a
a + 3b -1 = b + 3a -1
It is not commutative
c. Is * associative?
(a * b) * c = (a + 3b – 1) * c
= a + 3b – 1 + 3c – 1
= a + 3b + 3c – 2
a (b * c) = a * (b + 3c -1)
= a + 3(b + 3c – 1) – 1
= a + 3b + 9c – 3 – 1
= a + 3b + 9c – 4
It is not associative.
