Question
Let A be any set containing more than one element. Let '*' be a binary operation on A defined by a * b = b for all a, b ∈ A. Is '*' commutative or associative on A?
✓

Answer

Commutativity: Let $\text{a, b}\in\text{A.}$ Then, $\text{a}\ ^*\ \text{b}=\text{b}$ $\text{b}\ ^*\ \text{a}=\text{a}$ Therefore, $\text{a}\ ^*\ \text{b}\neq\text{b}\ ^*\ \text{a}$ Thus, * is not commutative on A. Associativity: Let $\text{a, b, c}\in\text{A.}$ Then, $\text{a}\ ^*\ (\text{b}\ ^*\ \text{c})=\text{a}\ ^*\ \text{c}$ $=\text{c}$ $(\text{a}\ ^*\ \text{b})\ ^*\ \text{c}=\text{b}\ ^*\ \text{c}$ $=\text{c}$ Therefore,$\text{a}\ ^*\ (\text{b}\ ^*\ \text{c})=(\text{a}\ ^*\ \text{b})\ ^*\ \text{c},\ \forall\ \text{a, b, c}\in\text{A}$
Thus, * is associative on A.
