Binary Operations

The document discusses binary operations in mathematics. A binary operation combines two elements from a set and produces a third element in the set. Common binary operations include addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of real numbers. The document then discusses properties of binary operations, including closure, commutativity, associativity, and the existence of an identity element.

Binary Operation

Example 1.
1*2=3
2*5=7
4 * 6 = 10
5 * 7 = 12

What is the operation of *?


Binary Operation
Example 2.
1*3=2
2*6=4
3*7=5
8*8=8

What is the operation of *?


In mathematics, a binary operation on a set is a
calculation that combines two elements of the set
(called operands ) to produce another element of the set.

Meaning: A binary operation *


, on the set of real
numbers , is a rule which combines any two real
numbers a and b and gives a real number.

Example include the familiar elementary


arithmetic operations of
addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Other examples are readily found in different areas of


mathematics, such as vector addition, matrix
multiplication and conjugation in groups.

Properties of Binary Operation
I. Closure Property
A set is said to be closed under binary operation *
if any two real numbers from the set , the result of
the binary operation returns to a member of the set.

If R is a set of real numbers. Then under addition, the


set is closed.
2 + 3 = 5, 5R
6 + -9 = -3, -3 R
This is true for all real umbers R

If a binary operation * is commutative then:

* a b c
a
b
c
** aa bb cc ** aa bb cc
aa bb aa cc aa aa cc bb
bb aa cc bb bb bb aa cc
cc cc bb aa cc cc bb aa

Table 1 shows commutativity while Table 2 did not.

* a b c
a b a c
b a c b
c c b a

IV. Identity Element
For a binary operation *, if their exist just one element e
such that
e*a =a and a*e =a
Where a , e R.
This e is called the identity element for the binary operation *

Common identity element:


a. For addition : e = 0 because 2 + 0 = 2 and 0 + 2 = 2
b. For multiplication: e = 1 because 3 x 1 = 3 & 1 x 3 = 3
Identity element in the table:

* a b c d
a c a d b
b a b c d
c d c d c
d b d a a

The identity element is b


*

Remember : a * e = e * a = a

*

* a b c d
a c a d b
b a b c d
c d c b a
d b d c a
*

Remember : Identity of a : a *e =a
therefore a* =e
