1. Using exclusively the axiomatic description of real numbers enclosed (see
at the end of this document), derive the following properties:
a) The multiplication ab produces zero if and only if at least one of the
elements a or b of the product is zero.
b) The product of two negative elements produces a positive element, while
a negative times a positive yields a negative.
c) For any given a e R, there is a unique opposite associated to a; show
also that for any given 0 a € R, there is a unique inverse associated to a.
(Note that these uniqueness results justify the notation
opposite of a, and ! for the (unique) inverse of a (for a + 0));
-a for the (unique)
d) The product of two numbers, a and b is zero if and only if at least one of
them is zero;
e) For any given a, bERt satisfying a < b, one has a' < b². [Recall that the

f) Explain the scope of the requirement 1 +0 contained in Axiom (iv) of the

We define R to be the set in which two operations are defined,
+ : Rx R + R,
and
x : Rx R + R.
and such that (R, +, x) satisfies the following axioms:
Field arioms:
(i) the commutative property of the addition and multiplication operations:
a +b = b+ a; ab = ba;
(ü) the associative property of the addition and multiplication operations:
(a + b) +c = a+ (b+c); (ab) c = a (be);
(ii) the distributive property of products over sums
(a + 6) c = ac + be, a (b+ c) = ab+ ac;
(iv) the existence of an additive identity 0 and a distinct multiplicative iden-
tity, that is, 1 + 0, satisfying a +0 = a for all a E R and a x1 = a for all
a € R;
(v) for each element a € R, the existence of an additive inverse b, also called
opposite, i.e an element b such that a + b = 0;
(vi) for each element a + 0 there exists a multiplicative inverse b, ie. an
element b such that a x b = 1;
Ordering arioms:
There exists a subset of R, which we denote R* which does not contain 0,
which satisfies the following properties:
(vii) R* is closed under the operations of sum and multiplication, that is:
a, be R+ = a+ b, ab € Rt;
(viii) for any a ER, either a eR+, or -a e R*, or a = 0
(ir) for a, b, e e R, a -be Rt and 6-CER* = a -cERt.
Besides the field axioms ((i)-(vi) and the ordering axioms (vii)-(iz), which
are also satisfied by the set of rational mumbers Q, the real numbers also
satisfy
(x) the completeness ariom.
