- In Exercises 114, decide whether each of the given sets is a group with respect to the indicated operation. If it is not a group, state a condition in Definition 3.1 that fails to hold. The set of all complex numbers x that have absolute value 1, with operation addition. Recall that the absolute value of a complex number x written in the form x=a+bi, with a and b real, is given by | x |=| a+bi |=a2+b2arrow_forwardExercises In Exercises, decide whether each of the given sets is a group with respect to the indicated operation. If it is not a group, state a condition in Definition that fails to hold. 8.
