Question

Given a ring R with elements {0, 1, a, b}, where:

  1. a+a=b,
  2. a×a=b, and
  3. b+b=0.

Find the result of (a+1)×(a+1).

Expert Solution
Step 1: Understand the Ring Properties

In abstract algebra, a ring is a set equipped with two binary operations, addition and multiplication, satisfying certain properties.

One such property is the distributive law, which allows us to expand expressions of the form (a+b)×c.
