Question
Determine whether the following operations define a binary operation on the given set or not:
'*' on N defined by a * b = a + b - 2 for all $\text{a, b}\in\text{N.}$
✓

Answer

If a = 1 and b = 1, a * b = a + b - 2 = 1 + 1 - 2$=0\notin\text{N}$
Thus, there exist a = 1 and b = 1 such that $\text{a}\ ^*\ \text{b}\notin\text{N}$ So, * is not a binary operation on N.
