Question
Determine whether the following operations define a binary operation on the given set or not:$'\odot'$ on N defined by $\text{a}\odot\text{b}=\text{a}^{\text{b}}+\text{b}^{\text{a}}$ for all $\text{a, b}\in\text{N.}$

Answer

Let $\text{a, b}\in\text{N.}$ Then,
$\text{a}^{\text{b}},\text{b}^{\text{a}}\in\text{N}$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{a}^{\text{b}}+\text{b}^{\text{a}}\in\text{N}$ $\big[\because$ Addition is binary operation on N$\big]$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{a}\odot\text{b}\in\text{N}$
Thus, $\odot$ is a binary operation on N.
