Analyzing a binary operation table to determine if it defines a group, the existence of an identity element and inverses, and if it is abelian. The order of the group is also explored.
E N D
Does this table show a binary operation? • Yes • No
Is there an identity element? If so, what is it? • No (b) Yes, p • Yes, q (d) Yes, r • (e) Yes, s (f) Yes, t • (g) Yes, u (h) Yes, v • (i) Yes, w
Does p have an inverse? • If so, what is it? • No (b) Yes, p • Yes, q (d) Yes, r • (e) Yes, s (f) Yes, t • (g) Yes, u (h) Yes, v • (i) Yes, w
Does q have an inverse? • If so, what is it? • No (b) Yes, p • Yes, q (d) Yes, r • (e) Yes, s (f) Yes, t • (g) Yes, u (h) Yes, v • (i) Yes, w
Does every element have an inverse? • Yes • No
Does this table define a group? • Yes • No • I don’t know and if you think I am going to check associative you are out of your freaking mind.
What is the order of this group? • 1 (b) 6 • 8 (d) 50 • (e) 64 (f) Primary
Is this group abelian? • Yes • No
