Question
In each of the questions below identify the statement that does not hold in a complete
ordered field K and provide a counterexample.
(a) (i) Va, b e K, ³c € K, c> a+b.
(ii) Va, b = K, [a < b ⇒ a² <b²].
(iii) Va, b = K, [a<b⇒a+1≤ b+1].
(b) (i) Va, b, c = K, [(a < b) v (b< c) ⇒ (a < c)].
(ii) a € K, Vb € K, ab = b.
(iii) Va, b = K, (0 <a<b⇒ 0<b-¹ <a¯¹).
(c) (i) Va, b ≤ K, (a ≤ b) v (b ≤ a).
(ii) Va, b, c = K, (ab)c = a(bc).
(iii) 3b € K, Va € K, a + b = 1.
(d) (i) Va € K, 3b € K, a + b = 1.
(ii) Va € K, 3b € K, ab = 1.
(iii) every non-empty set that is bounded above has a least upper bound.
