Suppose (A,∗) be an associative, unital, binary operation with
inverses. Show that if|A|≤3,then in fact, (A,∗) isalsocommutative,
even though we didn’t assume it at the beginning.
Suppose that a set G has a binary operation on it that has the
following properties:
1. The operation ◦ is associative, that is:
for all a,b,c ∈ G, a◦(b◦c)=(a◦b)◦c
2. There is a right identity, e:
For all a∈G a◦e=a
3. Every element has a right inverse:
For all a∈G there is a^-1 such that a◦a^-1=e
Prove that this operation makes G a group. You must show that
the right inverse of each element is a left inverse and...

____________ and hexadecimal ______________.
For each of the following determine whether ∗ is a binary
operation on R. If so, determine whether or not ∗ is associative,
commutative, has an identity element, and has inverse elements.
(a) a ∗ b = (ab) / (a+b+1)
(b) a ∗ b = a + b + k where k ∈ Z
(c) a ln(b) on {x ∈ R | x > 0}
Suppose that people expect inflation to equal 3%, but in fact
prices rise by 5%. Describe how this unexpected high inflation rate
would help or hurt the following:
a. the government; (3%)
b. a homeowner with a fixed-rate mortgage; (3%)
c. a union worker in the second year of a labour contract; and
(3%)
d. a college that has invested some of its endowment in
government bonds. (3%)
4. Suppose that people expect inflation to equal 3 percent, but
in fact, prices rise by 5 percent. Indicate whether this unexpected
higher rate of inflation would help or hurt each of the following
groups.
a homeowner with a fixed-rate mortgage.
a union worker with a fixed labour contract
a company that has invested some of its endowment in government
bonds which pays a fixed rate of return.
5. Indicate how each of the following events would affect the
aggregate...
(6) Define a binary operation ∗ on the set G = R^2 by (x, y) ∗
(x', y') = (x + x', y + y'e^x)
(a) Show that (G, ∗) is a group. Specifically, prove that the
associative law holds, find the identity e, and find the inverse of
(x, y) ∈ G.
(b) Show that the group G is not abelian.
(c). Show that the set H= (x*x=e) is a subgroup of G.
Let G be a group with the binary operation of juxtaposition and
identity e. Let H be a subgroup of G.
(a) (4 points) Prove that a binary relation on G defined by a ∼
b if and only if a−1b ∈ H, is an equivalence.
(b) (3 points) For all a ∈ G, denote by [a] the equivalence
class of a with respect to ∼ . Prove that [a] = {ah|h ∈ H}. We
write [a] = aH and...
