Proof: Product is One 2
Let's prove the following theorem:
if the following are true:
- not (a = 0)
- not (b = 0)
then ((a ⋅ b) ⋅ (1 / a)) ⋅ (1 / b) = 1
Proof:
Given
1 | not (a = 0) |
---|---|
2 | not (b = 0) |
# | Claim | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | (a ⋅ (1 / a)) ⋅ (b ⋅ (1 / b)) = 1 | if not (a = 0) and not (b = 0), then (a ⋅ (1 / a)) ⋅ (b ⋅ (1 / b)) = 1 |
2 | (a ⋅ (1 / a)) ⋅ (b ⋅ (1 / b)) = ((a ⋅ b) ⋅ (1 / a)) ⋅ (1 / b) | (a ⋅ (1 / a)) ⋅ (b ⋅ (1 / b)) = ((a ⋅ b) ⋅ (1 / a)) ⋅ (1 / b) |
3 | ((a ⋅ b) ⋅ (1 / a)) ⋅ (1 / b) = 1 | if (a ⋅ (1 / a)) ⋅ (b ⋅ (1 / b)) = ((a ⋅ b) ⋅ (1 / a)) ⋅ (1 / b) and (a ⋅ (1 / a)) ⋅ (b ⋅ (1 / b)) = 1, then ((a ⋅ b) ⋅ (1 / a)) ⋅ (1 / b) = 1 |
