4.5.9 {-1,0,1} group on multiplication?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

-1 0 1

-1 1 0 -1

0 0 0 0

1 -1 0 1

This group is closed.

The identity is 1, because any number multiplied by 1 remains the same.

-1 * -1 =1

1 * 1= 1

0 * 0 =0

Because 0 doesn't have an inverse, this system isn't a group.

** There are four criteria for the group: closure, identity, inverse property, and associativity.

The lack of any one of these properties means that the set and operation do not form a group.

The set is closed on multiplication.

The identity is the element that when multiplied by other elements does not change them. The identity for this operation is 1, since 1 * -1 = -1, 1 * 0 = 0 and 1 * 1 = 1.

Inverses are pairs of elements that give you 1 when you multiply them. For example -1 * -1 = 1 so -1 is its own inverse. 1 * 1 = 1 so 1 is also its own inverse. However, 0 does not have an inverse because there is nothing you can multiply by 0 to get 1.

Since there is an element without an inverse this is not a group. **

4.5.25 verify (NT)R = N(TR)

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

(NT)R = N(TR)

(NT)R:

NT = V

VR = M

N(TR):

TR = P

PN = M

The statement is true.

** From the table

(NT)R= V R = M

and

N(TR)= N P = M

This verifies the identity. **

query 4.5.33 inverse of T

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

According to the table, T is its own inverse. The identity is Q, and TT=Q

4.5.42. Explain what property is gained when the system of integers is extended to the system of rational numbers.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

The inverse property is gained, because you no longer have to use only whole numbers. An integer multiplied by a rational number can produce the inverse, which is 1. The only number where an inverse can't be produced is 0, because 0 multiplied by any number is still 0.

** The set of integers is a group on addition, with identity 0 and every number x having additive inverse -x.

It is not a group on multiplication. It contains the identity 1 but does not contain inverses, except for 1 itself. This is because, for example, there is no integer you can multiply by 2 to get the identity 1.

If we extend the integers to the rational numbers we do get the inverses. The inverse of 2 is 1/2 since x * 1/2 = 1, the identity. In general the multiplicative inverse of x is 1 / x.

However we still don't have a group on multiplication since 0 still doesn't have an inverse, 1 / 0 being undefined on the real numbers. **
