Let A = R0 × R, where R0 denote the set of all non-zero real numbers. A binary operation ‘O’ is defined on A as follows: (a, b) O (c, d) = (ac, bc + d) for all (a, b), (c, d) ∈ R0 × R. Find the invertible element in A.

Let A = R0 × R, where R0 denote the set of all non-zero real numbers. A binary operation ‘O’ is defined on A as follows: (a, b) O (c, d) = (ac, bc + d) for all (a, b), (c, d) ∈ R0 × R. Find the invertible element in A.

Answer:

Consider,

F = (m, n) be the inverse in A ∀ m ∈ R0 and n ∈ R

X O F = E

F O X = E

(am, bm + n) = (1, 0) and (ma, na + b) = (1, 0)

Considering (am, bm + n) = (1, 0)

am = 1

m = 1/a

And bm + n = 0

n = -b/a [since m = 1/a]

Considering (ma, na + b) = (1, 0)

ma = 1

m = 1/a

And na + b = 0

n = -b/a

Hence, the inverse of (a, b) ∈ A with respect to O is (1/a, -b/a)
