Please answer number question 4
![**Fields**
**Definition:** An algebraic system \(\{S, +, \cdot\}\) consisting of a set \(S\) together with two operations \(+\) and \(\cdot\), is called a *field* if it has the following properties.
For all \(a, b, c\) in \(S\):
- **A1.** Addition is associative: \(a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c\)
- **A2.** Addition is commutative: \(a + b = b + a\)
- **A3.** Zero: \(\exists\) an element \(0\) in \(S\) such that \(a + 0 = a\)
- **A4.** Opposite: \(\exists\) an element \(-a\) such that \(a + (-a) = 0\)
- **M1.** Multiplication is associative: \(a(bc) = (ab)c\)
- **M2.** Multiplication is commutative: \(ab = ba\)
- **M3.** One: \(\exists\) an element \(1\) in \(S\) such that \(1a = a\)
- **M4.** Reciprocal: if \(a \neq 0\), \(\exists\) an element \(\frac{1}{a}\) such that \(a \cdot \frac{1}{a} = \frac{1}{a} \cdot a = 1\)
- **D.** Multiplication is distributive over addition: \(a(b + c) = ab + ac\)
1. Explain why the integers with \(+\) and \(\cdot\) are not a field.
2. Explain why the rational numbers with \(+\) and \(\cdot\) are a field.
3. Show that the set of numbers mod 5 with \(\oplus\) and \(\odot\) is a field.
4. Show that the set of numbers mod 6 with \(\oplus\) and \(\odot\) is not a field.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F3fa423e9-40e4-49f9-ba34-48d1aa8524f6%2Fd010a039-d983-44c6-b76f-2b514285cce7%2F8mpwl1k_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
