Question
Rules:
(1) (a,b)+(c,d)=(ad+bc,bd)
(2) (a,b)·(c,d)=(ac,bd)
Suppose (a, b) and (c, d) are equivalent in the sense defined above for fractions and that (x, y) is some other fraction:
(1) Show that (a, b) + (x, y) and (c, d) + (x, y) are equivalent
(2) Show that (a, b) · (x, y) and (c, d) · (x, y) are equivalent
Expert Solution
Step 1
Solution:
Let us consider, .
Let us also consider, are equivalent in the sense defined above for fractions.
Therefore, are equivalent if and only if there exists a such that holds.
We now have to show that,
(1) are equivalent
(2) are equivalent.
Let us now consider, . So, there exists a such that holds.
Therefore,
Step by step
