Given that a*b = a + b + ab

a) evaluate 3*5

just plug and chug

3*5 = 3 + 5 + 15 = 23

Find the inverse of the matrix A=(5/-3 7/-2)

3+3×5=6×5=30

To evaluate the expression 3*5 using the given equation a*b = a + b + ab, we can substitute a with 3 and b with 5.

So, a = 3 and b = 5. Plugging these values into the equation, we have:

3*5 = 3 + 5 + 3 * 5

Now, we can simplify the expression:

3*5 = 3 + 5 + 15

Adding the numbers together:

3*5 = 8 + 15

3*5 = 23

Therefore, the value of 3*5 is 23.
