The field Q of rational numbers is an extension of the integral domain Z of integers.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

Whether the statement, “Every integral domain contains set of positive elements” is true or false.

Answer to Problem 1TFE

Solution:

The statement, “Every integral domain contains set of positive elements” is false.

Explanation of Solution

Formula used:

Definition of ordered integral domain:

If D is an integral domain, then for each xD, one and only one of the following statements is true:

xD+,x=0,xD+.

Explanation:

Consider the statement, “Every integral domain contains set of positive elements.”

By using definition, an element xD such that xD+ is called a negative element of D.

Thus, every integral domain may or may not contain the set of positive elements.

Hence, the statement “Every integral domain contains set of positive elements” is false.
