Document Summary

1. 3) use the axiom of distributivity to prove that (a)0 = 0 for all a r , and use this to prove that ( - 1) ( - 1) = 1. The axiom of distributivity state that a(b+c) = ab + ac (a) let b be an additive in verse of c, then b = -c (sub -c for b) a(b + c) = a( c + c) = a(0) (-c + c = 0 by additive inverse) (-ac + ac = 0 by additive inverse) a( c) + a(c) = 0. Therefore, (2) and (3) gives a(0) = 0. 1. 7) prove: for all a, b, c r , |a c| |a c| + |b c| (hint: use triangle inequality) The triangle inequality state that: |x + y| |x| + |y| let x = a - b and y = |(a b)| + |(b c)| |a b| + |b c|
