If \Delta is an operation such that for integers a and b we have a \Delta b = a × b – 2 × a × b + b × b (–a) × b + b × b then find (i) 4 \Delta ( – 3) (ii) ( – 7) \Delta ( – 1) Also show that 4 \Delta ( – 3) \neq (– 3) \Delta 4
If is an operation such that for integers a and b we have
a b = a × b – 2 × a × b + b × b (–a) × b + b × b
then find (i) 4 ( – 3)
(ii) ( – 7) ( – 1)
Also show that 4 ( – 3) (– 3) 4
and ( – 7) ( – 1) ( – 1) (– 7)
