Question 1 Report

A binary operation \( \otimes \) is defined by \( m \otimes n = mn + m - n \) on the set of real numbers, for all m, n \( \in \) R. Find the value of \( 3 \otimes (2 \otimes 4) \).

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.
