Question 1 Report

A binary operation on the set of real numbers excluding -1 is such that sor all \(m, n \in R\), \(m \Delta n = m + n + mn\). Find the identity element of the operation.

Answer Details
m  Δ  n = m + n + mn
m  Δ  e = e  Δ  m = m
m  Δ  e = m
m + e + me = m
e + me = m - m
e + me = 0
e(1 + m) = 0
e =  0 1 + m  = 0
