Suppose that the check digit is computed as described in Example . Prove that transposition errors of adjacent digits will not be detected unless one of the digits is the check digit. Example Using Check Digits Many companies use check digits for security purposes or for error detection. For example, an the digit may be appended to a -bit identification number to obtain the -digit invoice number of the form where the th bit, , is the check digit, computed as . If congruence modulo is used, then the check digit for an identification number . Thus the complete correct invoice number would appear as . If the invoice number were used instead and checked, an error would be detected, since .
Please help provide solution for the following Linear Algebra question: "• Is it possible to define two binary operations, ⊕ and ⋆, on the set of real numbers R such that (R, ⊕ , ⋆) is a field (with addition ⊕ and multiplication ⋆) such that the additive identity is 5 and the multiplicative identity is 7? If yes, then define ⊕ and ⋆ accordingly. If no, then explain why not." Does the problem involve using the multiplication and additive identity axioms for fields (see attached for my attempt to solution)?
