Let ∗ be a binary operation on Z  defined by   x∗y=(1/2)(x+y+1+(1/2)(1+(−1)^(x+y) )).  Is ∗ associative?
LetbeabinaryoperationonZdefinedbyxy=12(x+y+1+12(1+(1)x+y)).Isassociative?

x+y=2i  y+z=2n+1  x=2  y=6  z=3  y∗z=(1/2)(10)=5  x∗y=(1/2)(2+6+1+1)=5  x∗(y∗z)=2∗5=4  (x∗y)∗z=5∗3=5
x+y=2iy+z=2n+1x=2y=6z=3yz=12(10)=5xy=12(2+6+1+1)=5x(yz)=25=4(xy)z=53=5
