Question
Consider the Set Q of rational numbers, and let * be the operation on Q defined by ab=a+b-ab. Then 34 = _________.a.4b.-1c.-4d.-5
Solution
To find the value of 34 using the given operation, we substitute a = 3 and b = 4 into the expression ab = a + b - ab.
So, 34 = 3 + 4 - (34).
Now, we can simplify the expression:
3*4 = 3 + 4 - 12.
Adding 3 and 4 gives us 7, and subtracting 12 from 7 gives us -5.
Therefore, 3*4 = -5.
The correct answer is d. -5.
