Find the identity element in set Q^+ of ...

Find the identity element in set `Q^+` of all positive rational numbers for the operation * defined by `a*b=(a b)/2` for all `a , b in Q^+dot`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the identity element in the set \( Q^+ \) (the set of all positive rational numbers) for the operation defined by \( a * b = \frac{ab}{2} \), we need to identify an element \( e \) such that for any \( a \in Q^+ \): \[ a * e = a \] ### Step 1: Write the equation for the identity element Using the definition of the operation, we have: ...
