NATURAL NUMBER {1,2,3....}

INTEGER NUMBER {...-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3....}



The FUNCTION O:AXA→A is defined as o(a,b)=aob is called binary operation if aob∈ A


EXAMPLE : ADDITION

+:NXN → N,

+(a,b)=a+b

a,b∈ N

2+3=5

3,2 belongs to natural number and resultant 5 is also belong to natural number so addition is a binary operation



EXAMPLE : subtraction

-:NXN → N,

-(a,b)=a-b

a,b∈ N

2-=-1

2,3 belongs to natural number and resultant(-1 is not belong to natural number so subtraction is not a binary operation


EXAMPLE : multiplication

*:NXN→ N,

*(a,b)=a*b

a,b∈ N

2*3=6

2,3 belongs to natural number and resultant(6 is also belong to natural number so multiplication is a binary operation)



EXAMPLE : division

:NXN→ N,

%(a,b)=a%b

a,b∈ N

2%3=0.6

2,3 belongs to natural number and resultant(0.6 is not belong to natural number so division is not a binary operation)


EXAMPLE : exponential

^:NXN→ N,

^(a,b)=a^b

a,b∈ N

23=8

2,3 belongs to natural number and resultant(8 is also belong to natural number so exponential is also a binary operation)


EXAMPLE : exponential

^:IXI→ I,

^(a,b)=a^b

a,b∈ I

2-3=1%8=0.12

2,-3 belongs to integer number and resultant(1%8 is NOT belong to integer number so exponential is not a binary operation)
