๐ด = {0, 1, 2, 3, โฆ } is the set of non-negative integers. Let ฯ be the set of functions from ๐ด to itself. For any two functions, ๐1, ๐2 โ ฯ, we define (๐1โจ๐2 )(๐) = ๐1(๐) + ๐2 (๐) for every number ๐ in ๐ด. Which of the following is/are CORRECT about the mathematical structure (ฯ, โจ)?
To determine the nature of the mathematical structure \((\mathcal{F}, \circ)\) where \(\mathcal{F}\) is the set of functions from set \(A = \{0, 1, 2, 3, \ldots\}\) to itself and the operation \(\circ\) is defined as:
\((f_1 \circ f_2)(n) = f_1(n) + f_2(n)\)
we need to check whether it satisfies the properties of various algebraic structures such as groups and monoids. Let's go through these properties one by one.
With these properties evaluated, we find that \((\mathcal{F}, \circ)\) satisfies closure, associativity, has an identity element, and is commutative, but does not satisfy invertibility. Hence, it is an Abelian Monoid.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
The multiplicative group {1, -1, i, -i} is a cyclic group, its generators are
The number of generators of the cyclic group G of order 8 is
A subset H of a group (G, ∗) is a group if
Consider the following statements:
S 1: If a group (G, *) is of order n, and a ∈ G is such that a m= e for some integer m ≤ n, then m must divide n.
S 2: If a group (G, *) is of even order, then there must be an element a ∈ G such that a ≠ e and a * a = e
Which of the statements is (are) correctIf the group (z, ∗) of all integers, where a ∗ b = a + b + 1 for all a, b ∈ z, the inverse of -2 is
