1. a + b = b + a, a, b (Commut at i vi t i w. r. t addi t i on)
2. ( a + b) + c=a+( b + c) a , b , c ( Associ at i vi t y of

5. a b = b a a, b ( commut at i ve of mul t i pl i cat i on)

Theorem
1. I f z and a are el ement s i n Wi t h z + a = a, t hen z = 0
2. I f u and b 0 are el ement s i n Wi t h u b = b, t hen u = 1
3. I f a , t hen a 0 = 0.

Proof
1. z = z + 0 ( Exi st ence of zero el ement )
= z + ( a + ( - a) ) = ( z + a) + ( - a)
= a + ( - a) = 0.
2. I f u and b 0 are el ement s i n and u b = b
To Show t hat - u = 1
Consi der u = u 1 ( Exi st ence of uni t )
= u ( b
) ( Exi st ence of reci pr ocal s)

= ( u b)
( usi ng associ at i on of mul t i pl i cat i on

= b
( u b= bi s guven)
u = b
= 1
u = 1
3. I f a , t hen a 0 = 0
a + a 0 = a 1 + a 0 ( Exi st ence of uni t )
= a ( 1 + 0) = a 1 ( Di st ri but i vi t y)
= a ( Exi st ence of uni t )
a 0 = 0 ( By ( a) )

Theorem
1. I f 0 a are such t hat a b = 1 b =

2. I f a b = 0 t hen ei t her a = 0 or b = 0

Proof
( 1) . b = b 1 ( Exi st ence of uni t )
= b ( a
) ( a0, Exi st ence of r eci pr ocal )

= ( ba)
( Associ at i vi t y)
= ( ab)
( Commut at i vi t y of mul t i pl i cat i on)

= ( 1
) ( ab = 1)
b =

( 2) . l et a b = 0, I f a = 0 we ar e done , i f a 0 , 1/a exi st s.
Now , b = b 1 = b ) ( Exi st ence of reci procal s)

b = 0

Rat i onal number
Any number t hat can be wri t t en as
where a, b and b 0,
i s cal l ed a rat i onal number. The set of al l rat i onal number s i s

Any number whi ch i s not rat i onal i s cal l ed i rrat i onal .
OR
A number X i s cal l ed i rrat i onal i f f a and b( 0) i n such t hat
X =

Theorem There does not exi st s a rat i onal number
r such t hat r
2
= 2.

Proof Let i f possi bl e r at i onal number
r =
( q 0, p, q ) :
(
= 2.
Not e - wi t hout t he l oss of gener al i t y we can assume t hat
t here i s no common Fact or b/w p and q, and p and q bot h are
posi t i ve , Now (
=2 p
2
= 2q

p
2
i s even
( p i s odd p = 2n- 1 , n
Then p
2
= ( 2n- 1)
2

= 2( 2n
2
- 2n+1) - 1, i s odd)
z

9971245238 or 8750558444
Al so p and q do not have 2 as a common f act or
q i s odd . . ( 1)
Now as p i s even p = 2m
Where m :
4m
2
= 2q
2
q
2
= 2m
2

q
2
i s even q i s even ( 2)
From ( 1) and ( 2) we have a cont r adi ct i on.
And hence t here i s no p and q i n such t hat

To Show t hat - a > c i . e a c P
As a b P and b c P

a + ( - b + b) - c P
a - c P a > c.
( b) . I f a > b, t hen a + c > b + c
Proof - Gi ven - a > b a - b P
Now ( a + c) - ( b + c) = a + c - b - c
= a + c - c - b
= a - b P
( a + c) - ( b + c) P a + c > b + c.

( a) . i f a = 0 or b = 0 | ab| = | a| | b|
So assume a 0 , b 0 .
Case 1 a > 0, b > 0 ab > 0 | ab| = ab
Now | ab| = ab = | a| | b|
( a > 0 | a| = a & b > 0 | b| = b )

Case 3 a < 0, b > 0 ab < 0 | ab| = - ab

Case - 2 a + b < 0

Now we know t hat
