Let A = Z and let a, b ∈ A. Prove if the following binary
operations are (i) commutative, (2) if they are associative and (3)
if they have an identity (if the operations has an identity, give
the identity or show that the operation has no identity).
(a) (3 points) f(a, b) = a + b + 1
(b) (3 points) f(a, b) = a(b + 1)
(c) (3 points) f(a, b) = x2 + xy + y2
