Determine whether or not each of the definition of given below gives a binary operation. In the event that is not a binary operation, give justification for this.

On R, define by a b = ab2


It is given that On R, define by a b = ab2

We can see that for each a, b ϵ R, there is a unique element ab2 in R.


* carries each pair (a, b) to a unique element a * b = ab2 in R.


Therefore, * is a binary operation.
