Exercise 1.1.1 comes here.
|
||||
\begin{tcolorbox}
|
||||
Prove:
|
||||
|
||||
Let $F$ be an ordered field and $x,y,z \in F$. If $x < 0$ and $y < z$, then $xy > xz$.
|
||||
\end{tcolorbox}
|
||||
|
||||
So let's assume the premise. $F$ is an ordered field and $x,y,z \in F$,
|
||||
and we choose $x,y$ and $z$ such that $x < 0$ and $y < z$.
|
||||
|
||||
From $x < 0$ it follows that $(-x) > 0$. From $y < z$ it follows that $0 < z - y$.
|
||||
From both of these, we can conclude that $0 < (-x)(z-y)$.
|
||||
Working out the right side with the distributive law, gives $0 < (-x*z)-(-x*y)$.
|
||||
Using $-1*-1 = 1$, gives $0 < (-xz)-(-xy)$, thus $0 < xy - xz$. The right part can be split again: $xz < xy$.
|
||||
Then, the < can be flipped, which gives $xy > xz$. \qed
