Consider the binary opertions `**: R xx R to R and o : R xx R to R` defined as `a ** b = |a -b| and a o b =a, AA a, b in R.` Show that `**` is commutative but not associative, o is associative but not commutative. Further, show that `AA a,b,c in R, a ** (b o c) = (a**b) o (a **c).`[If it is so, we say that the opertion `**` distributes over the opertion 0]. Does o distribute over `**` ? Justify your answer.
