Q. Let x be the collection of 2×2 matricet in the form [1ba1] where
Check Closure Under Addition: To check for closure under addition, we need to verify that when we add any two matrices of the given form, the result is also a matrix of the same form.
Choose Arbitrary Matrices: Let's take two arbitrary matrices from our set:Matrix 1: [1ab1]Matrix 2: [1cd1]where a, b, c, and d are real numbers.
Perform Matrix Addition: We add the two matrices using the given binary operation: \begin{bmatrix}1 & a\b & 1\end{bmatrix} \oplus \begin{bmatrix}1 & c\d & 1\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}1 & a+c\b+d & 1\end{bmatrix}
Verify Resulting Matrix: The resulting matrix after addition is [1a+cb+d1]. Since a+c and b+d are sums of real numbers, they are also real numbers.
Closure Under Addition Confirmed: The resulting matrix is of the same form as the original matrices, with the top-right and bottom-left elements being real numbers. This means that the set is closed under the given operation of addition.
