___________TOTAL 40 MARKS_________ Time 1 hour _

Groups
1 The binary operation ∗ and ⨂ are defined on the set ℝ of real numbers by
𝑎 ∗ 𝑏 = 𝑎2 − 𝑏 2 and 𝑎⨂𝑏 = 𝑎 + 2𝑏, for all 𝑎, 𝑏 ∈ ℝ.
Evaluate

(i) 2 ∗ (3⨂4) [2]

(ii) (2 ∗ 3)⨂(2 ∗ 4) [2]

(iii) What conclusion can you draw from the results of (i) and (ii)? [1]

2 The composition table for a group 𝐺 of order 8 under a binary operation ∗ is given below.
∗ 𝑎 𝑏 𝑐 𝑑 𝑒 𝑓 𝑔 ℎ
𝑎 𝑐 𝑒 𝑏 𝑓 𝑎 ℎ 𝑑 𝑔
𝑏 𝑒 𝑐 𝑎 𝑔 𝑏 𝑑 ℎ 𝑓
𝑐 𝑏 𝑎 𝑒 ℎ 𝑐 𝑔 𝑓 𝑑
𝑑 𝑓 𝑔 ℎ 𝑎 𝑑 𝑐 𝑒 𝑏
𝑒 𝑎 𝑏 𝑐 𝑑 𝑒 𝑓 𝑔 ℎ
𝑓 ℎ 𝑑 𝑔 𝑐 𝑓 𝑏 𝑎 𝑒
𝑔 𝑑 ℎ 𝑓 𝑒 𝑔 𝑎 𝑏 𝑐
ℎ 𝑔 𝑓 𝑑 𝑏 ℎ 𝑒 𝑐 𝑎

(i) State which is the identity element [1]


(ii) Give the inverse of each element of 𝐺. [2]
3 The operation ∗ is defined on the set ℝ of real numbers by 𝑥 ∗ 𝑦 = 𝑥 + 𝑦 − 𝑎,
where 𝑥 and 𝑦 are real numbers and 𝑎 is a real constant.
(i) Prove that the set of real numbers ℝ under the operation ∗ forms a group. [5]
(ii) Determine if the set ℝ is commutative under the binary operation ∗. [2]

(i) Construct a multiplication table for the elements. [2]

(ii) Show that the set 𝐺 forms a group under multiplication. [5]

(iii) State all the subgroups of 𝐺. [3]

(iv) Explain briefly how the table shows that 𝐺 is an Abelian group under
multiplication [1]
