- Exercises Work exercise 5 using U=a. Exercise5 Let U=a,b. Define addition and multiplication in P(U) by C+D=CD and CD=CD. Decide whether P(U) is a ring with respect to these operations. If it is not, state a condition in Definition 5.1a that fails to hold. Definition 5.1a: Suppose R is a set in which a relation of equality, denoted by =, and operations of addition and multiplication, denoted by + and , respectively, are defined. Then R is a ring with respect to these operation if the following conditions are satisfied : 1) R is closed under addition: xR,yRx+yR 2) Addition in R is associative: (x+y)+z=x+(y+z)x,y,zR 3) R contains an additive identity 0: x+0=0+x=xxR 4) R contains an additive inverse: for each x in R, there exists x in R such that x+(x)=(x)+x=0. 5) Addition in R is commutative: x+y=y+xx,yR 6) R is closed under multiplication: xR,yRxyR 7) Multiplication in R is associative: (xy)z=x(yz)x,y,zR 8) Two distributive laws holds in R: x(y+z)=xy+xz and (x+y)z=xz+yz x,y,zRarrow_forwardExercises 5.
