Your solution, attempt at solution. If you are unable to attempt a solution, give a phrase-by-phrase interpretation of the problem along with a statement of what you do or do not understand about it. This response should be given, based on the work you did in completing the assignment, before you look at the given solution.

022. `query 22

Question: `q4.6.9 {-1,0,1} group on multiplication?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

- Not a group. Without 0’s ability to have an inverse (no such thing as a -0) the inverse property is not present, therefore, it cannot be a group.

confidence rating #$&*:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

`a** 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. **

Question: `q4.6.25 verify (NT)R = N(TR)

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

- Shows the theory of association?

(a*b) * c = a*(b*c)

-

confidence rating #$&*:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

`a** From the table

(NT)R= V R = M

and

N(TR)= N P = M

This verifies the identity. **
