What is the invertible element of the law of composition xy
What is the invertible element of the law of composition? x*y = xy - 3(x+y) + 12
Solution
To find the invertible element for: x*y = xy - 3(x+y) + 12 we first need the neutral element.
Now let the neutrla element be N
=> xN - 3( x+ N) + 12 = x
=> xN - 3x - 3N +12 = x
=> xN - 3N = x+ 3x - 12
=> N ( x-3) = 4 ( x- 3)
=> N = 4
Now for the invertible element I
x * I = N = 4
=> xI - 3(x + I) + 12 = 4
=> xI - 3x - 3I + 12 = 4
=> I ( x-3) = 4 - 12 + 3x
=> I (x-3) = 3x - 8
=> I = (3x -8) / (x - 3)
Therefore the invertible element is (3x - 8) / (x-3).
