Question 1 Report

The binary operation * is defined on the set of integers such that p * q = pq + p - q. Find 2 * (3 * 4)
Answer Details
To find 2 * (3 * 4), we need to evaluate the expression in parentheses first, i.e., 3 * 4. Using the given binary operation *, we have: 3 * 4 = 3(4) + 3 - 4 = 11 Now we can substitute this value into the original expression: 2 * (3 * 4) = 2 * 11 = 2(11) + 2 - 11 = 13 Therefore, the answer is 13.
