Zorluk: OrtaFunctions and Custom Symbol Operations

For all real numbers xx and yy, the custom binary operation \odot is defined by xy=x+yxyx \odot y = x + y - xy. Which of the following statements must be true for all real numbers aa, bb, and cc? Select all such statements.

  1. ab=baa \odot b = b \odot aCevap
  2. a1=1a \odot 1 = 1Cevap
  3. C
    a0=0a \odot 0 = 0
  4. (ab)c=a(bc)(a \odot b) \odot c = a \odot (b \odot c)Cevap
  5. E
    aa=a2a \odot a = a^2

Cevap

The statements ab=baa \odot b = b \odot a, a1=1a \odot 1 = 1, and (ab)c=a(bc)(a \odot b) \odot c = a \odot (b \odot c) must be true for all real numbers aa, bb, and cc.
The custom operation is commutative (ab=baa \odot b = b \odot a), maps any real number operated with 11 to 11 (a1=1a \odot 1 = 1), and is associative ((ab)c=a(bc)(a \odot b) \odot c = a \odot (b \odot c)). These three properties hold universally for all real numbers.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate aba \odot b and bab \odot a to test commutativity.
ab=a+baba \odot b = a + b - ab and ba=b+abab \odot a = b + a - ba. Since addition and multiplication of real numbers are commutative, a+bab=b+abaa + b - ab = b + a - ba.
Verify if order of operands alters the result.
2
Evaluate a1a \odot 1 using the operation definition.
a1=a+1a(1)=a+1a=1a \odot 1 = a + 1 - a(1) = a + 1 - a = 1.
Test the behavior of operating with the constant 11.
3
Evaluate a0a \odot 0 to verify the zero property statement.
a0=a+0a(0)=aa \odot 0 = a + 0 - a(0) = a. This equals aa, not 00 for general values of aa.
Check if operating with 00 results in 00.
4
Evaluate both sides of (ab)c=a(bc)(a \odot b) \odot c = a \odot (b \odot c) to test associativity.
Left side: (ab)c=(a+bab)c=(a+bab)+c(a+bab)c=a+b+cabacbc+abc(a \odot b) \odot c = (a + b - ab) \odot c = (a + b - ab) + c - (a + b - ab)c = a + b + c - ab - ac - bc + abc. Right side: a(bc)=a(b+cbc)=a+(b+cbc)a(b+cbc)=a+b+cbcabac+abca \odot (b \odot c) = a \odot (b + c - bc) = a + (b + c - bc) - a(b + c - bc) = a + b + c - bc - ab - ac + abc. Both sides are identical.
Verify whether grouping alters the result.
5
Evaluate aaa \odot a.
aa=a+aa(a)=2aa2a \odot a = a + a - a(a) = 2a - a^2. This is not equal to a2a^2 except when 2aa2=a2    2a22a=0    a=02a - a^2 = a^2 \implies 2a^2 - 2a = 0 \implies a=0 or a=1a=1.
Determine if the self-operation yields a2a^2 for all real numbers.
