Document Summary

Associative law for addition: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) Existence of 0 (additive identity: a + 0 = 0) Existence of negatives (additive inverse: a + (-a) = 0) Commutativity of addition (a + b = b + a) Ditto for multiplication (associative law for multiplication, multiplicative identity, multiplicative inverse, commutativity of multiplication) Distributive law for multiplication: (a + b) c = ac + bc. Trichotomy law: for any a in the real numbers (a ), exactly one of the following holds: a p, -a p, a = 0; We can see that p is closed under addition and multiplication, but it does not have an additive identity or additive inverse. Define a < b as b - a p. Define a > b as a - b p. Define a (cid:3640) b as a - b p {0} Define a (cid:3639) b as b - a p {0}
