Prove that:
(s ⋅ s) - ((s ⋅ s) / 4) = (3 / 4) ⋅ (s ⋅ s)
The following properties may be helpful:
- a = a ⋅ 1
- 4 / 4 = 1
- (a ⋅ b) + (a ⋅ c) = a ⋅ (b + c)
- (4 / 4) + ((-1) / 4) = 3 / 4
- a + (b ⋅ ((-1) / c)) = a - (b / c)
- a ⋅ b = b ⋅ a
if a = b, then c ⋅ a = c ⋅ b
if the following are true:
- a = c
- b = c
then a = b
if the following are true:
- a = b ⋅ c
- c = d
then a = b ⋅ d
if the following are true:
- a + b = c
- d = a
then d + b = c
if the following are true:
- a = b
- a = c
then b = c
if the following are true:
- a = b
- b = c
then a = c
Please write your proof in the table below. Each row should contain one claim. The last claim is the statement that you are trying to prove.
