Question 1.
State whether True or False. Provide a reason in each case.
a. The pair (No, +) consisting of the set of whole numbers No = NU {0}, together with the
operation of addition +, constitutes a monoid.
b. The pair (E,-) consisting of the set of even integers & = {2n: ne Z}, together with the
operation of addition +, constitutes a group.
c. Given the set As = {r: r is a letter of the Latin alphabet}, together with some binary
operation : As x A₂ →→ A3. The number of magmas that can be defined in this way
is equal to 26676 exactly.
d. The emptyset together with the operation of addition + constitutes a semigroup.
e. The sets Z, Q, R, and C, together with addition and multiplication, are all rings.
f. The set Z of integers modulo 9, together with the operation, constitutes a monoid.
g. The triple {e}, +, consisting of the sigleton set {e}, together with operations of
addition + and multiplication, constitutes ring.
