Question

Let * be a binary operation on Z defined by a * b = a + b - 4 for all a, b ∈ Z.
Find the identity element in Z.

✓

Answer

Let e be the identity element in Z with respect to * such that
a * e = a = e * a, $\forall\ \text{a}\in\text{Z}$
a * e = a and e * a = a, $\forall\ \text{a}\in\text{Z}$
a + e - 4 = a and e + a - 4 = a, $\forall\ \text{a}\in\text{Z}$
e = 4, $\forall\ \text{a}\in\text{Z}$
Thus, 4 is the identity element in Z with respect to *.
