Here's the Solution to this Question
NATURAL NUMBER {1,2,3....}
INTEGER NUMBER {...-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3....}
The FUNCTION O:AXA→A is defined as o(a,b)=aob is called binary operation if aob∈ A
EXAMPLE : ADDITION
+:NXN → N,
+(a,b)=a+b
a,b∈ N
2+3=5
3, 2 belong to the set of natural numbers and the result 5 also belongs to the set natural numbers so addition is a binary operation.
EXAMPLE : subtraction
-:NXN → N,
-(a,b)=a-b
a,b∈ N
2-3=-1
2, 3 belong to the set of natural numbers and the result (-1) does not belong to the set of natural numbers so subtraction is not a binary operation.
EXAMPLE : multiplication
*:NXN→ N,
*(a,b)=a*b
a,b∈ N
2*3=6
2, 3 belong to the set of natural numbers and the result (6) also belongs to the set of natural numbers so multiplication is a binary operation.
EXAMPLE : division
:NXN→ N,
%(a,b)=a%b
a,b∈ N
2%3=0.6
2, 3 belong to the set of natural numbers and the result (0.6) does not belong to the set of natural numbers so division is not a binary operation.
EXAMPLE : exponential
^:NXN→ N,
^(a,b)=a^b
a,b∈ N
23=8
2, 3 belong to the set of natural numbers and the result (8) also belongs to the set of natural numbers so exponential is also a binary operation.
EXAMPLE : exponential
^:IXI→ I,
^(a,b)=a^b
a,b∈ I
(2)-3=1%8=0.12
2,-3 belong to the set of integer numbers and the result (1%8) does NOT belong to the set of integer numbers so exponential is not a binary operation.
