TYPE ONLY THE ANSWERS AND FORMULAS, DO NOT HANDWRITTEN IT. SHOW THE STEP BY STEP SOLUTION.

NOTE:


For no.1:
Recall that |x| = x iff x >= 0
Show ab < 0 leads to a contradiction.
Then assume ab>=0.
Prove by cases:
(i) Let ab=0.
(ii) Let ab > 0

 

ANSWER NUMBER 1 ONLY!

(1) Prove that the product xy of two real numbers x and y is nonnegative if and only if the absolute
of their sum is the sum |x|+|y| of their absolute values.
Oue|x + yl
(2) Let x, y and z be real numbers. Show that the distance between a real number x and z is the sum of the distances
between x and y and between y and z if and only if y = [x, z]. Illustrate geometrically on the real line.
