Let * be a binary operation on the set I of integers, defined by a*b = 2a + b – 3. Find the value of 3*4.
Given that * is a binary operation on the set I of integers.
The operation is defined by a*b = 2a + b – 3.
We need to find the value of 3*4.
Since 3 and 4 belongs to the set of integers we can use the binary operation.
⇒ 3*4 = (2×3) + 4–3
⇒ 3*4 = 6 + 1
⇒ 3*4 = 7
∴ the value of 3*4 is 7.
