$If * is defined on the set R_{o} of all non - zero real numbers by a * b = a + b - 5, the identity element in R for the binary operation * is$

Open in App

Solution

Given that a * b = a + b - 5.
Let e be the identity element of .
Therefore, a e = e * a = a.
a * e = a + e - 5 = a
$\Rightarrow$ e = 5.
