WHAT BINARY OPERATION IS?

•A binary operation on G is a
function that assigns each
ordered pair of G.
Symbolically:

a ⋆ b = G, for all a, b, c, ϵ G.

A group is a set of elements, with one
operation that satisfies the following:

• The set is closed with respect to the


operation.
• The operation satisfies the associative
property
• There is an identity element.
• Each element has an inverse.

A group is an ordered pair ( G, ⋆ ) where G is a set
and ⋆ is a binary operation on G satisfying the four
properties.

1. Closure property. if any two elements are


combined using the operation, the result must
be an element of the set. a ⋆ b = c ϵ G, for all
a, b, c ϵ G.
2. Associative property. ( a ⋆ b) ⋆ c = a ⋆ ( b ⋆ c),
for all a, b, c, ϵ G.
3. Identity property. There exists an element e in
G, such that for all a ϵ in G, a ⋆ e = e ⋆ a.
4. Inverse property. For each a ϵ G there is an
element a-1 of G, such that a ⋆ a-1 = a-1⋆a = e.

SET OF ALL NON-NEGATIVE INTEGERS
UNDER ADDITION IS A GROUP.
Solution:
Apply the four properties to test
Step 1: Closure property
8 + 4 = 12 and 11 + 5 = 16
The sum of two numbers of the set results to a
number of the set. Therefore, it is closed.
Step 2: Associative property
3 + ( 4 + 6) = 3 + 10 = 13
( 3 + 4 )+ 6 = 7 + 6 = 13
It also satisfies the associative property
Step 3: Identity property
7 + 0 = 7; 10 + 0 = 10
Step 4: Inverse property
5 + (-5) = 0; 45 + (-45) = 0

Therefore, the set of all non-negative


integers under addition is a group
because it satisfies the four properties.
