Prove Theorem 2 and 3.

Note: two theorems are separate.

Exercise 4. Prove the two following theorems.
Theorem 2. Suppose u e F where F is an ordered field. Then u is positive
if and only if u > 0. Similarly, u is negative if and only if u < 0.
Theorem 3 (Transitivity). Suppose x, Y, z E F where F is an ordered field.
If x < y and y < z then x < z.
