A binary operation ⊗ is defined by m⊗n=mn+m−n on the set of real numbers, for all m, n ∈ R. Find the value of 3 ⊗ (2 ⊗ 4).
Answer Details
We are given the binary operation ⊗ defined by m⊗n = mn + m - n for all m, n in the set of real numbers R.
So, to find the value of 3⊗(2⊗4), we need to evaluate each operation in the parentheses first:
2⊗4 = 2 * 4 + 2 - 4 = 6
Next, we evaluate 3⊗6:
3⊗6 = 3 * 6 + 3 - 6 = 15
Therefore, 3⊗(2⊗4) = 15.
