On G= (0,∞) - {1} is defined the following binary operation;

x ♦ y = x1ny

Show that (G, ♦) is an abelian group.

Expert Solution
Step 1

For the given binary operation,

x * y= xln y

CHECK CLOSURE

As the given operation is a binary relation therefore it will satisfy the closure property. Hence the closure property is satisfied.

CHECK ASSOCIATIVE

x*(y*z)=x*yln z=xln yln zx*y*z=xln yln zx*(y*z)=(x*y)*z

Hence the operation is associative.
