The following are attempts to define a binary operation on a set, are they actually binary operations on the given set? If yes, prove it and if not please provide an explanation. 1) a*b = a-b on S, S is the set Z of integers. 2) a*b = a log b on S, S is the set R+ of positive real numbers 3) a*b = |a+b| on S, S is the set of Real numbers. what I want to know...

Prove or disprove the following statements. Remember to disprove a statement you have to show that the statement is false. Equivalently, you can prove that the negation of the statement is true. Clearly state it, if a statement is True or False. In your proof, you can use ”obvious facts” and simple theorems that we have proved previously in lecture. (a) For all real numbers x and y, “if x and y are irrational, then x+y is irrational”. (b) For...

Consider the set Q(√3) ={a+b√3| a,b∈Q}. We have the associative properties of usual addition and usual multiplication from the field of real number R. a)Show that Q (√3) is closed under addition, contains the additive identity (0,zero) of R, each element contains the additive inverses, and say if addition is commutative. What does this tell you about (Q(√3,+)? b) Prove that Q(√3) is a commutative ring with unity 1 c) Prove that Q(√3) is a field by showing every nonzero...
