(a) Since the sum of two real numbers is a real number, closure is satisfied. The identity element is 0. The inverse is the negative of the real number. (0 is its own inverse.) Addition is associative. Hence this is a group.
(b) The identity element is 1. The inverse of 2 is 1 / 2, which is not an element in the proposed group, so this is not a group.
(c) Multiplication is associative. The identity element is 1. The inverse is the reciprocal of the number, and every member has an inverse. The product of two real nonzero numbers is a real nonzero number, so closure is satisfied.
