Proof: Product is One 3
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 ⋅ b) ⋅ (1 / a)) ⋅ (1 / b) = 1 | if not (a = 0) and not (b = 0), then ((a ⋅ b) ⋅ (1 / a)) ⋅ (1 / b) = 1 |
2 | ((a ⋅ b) ⋅ (1 / a)) ⋅ (1 / b) = (a ⋅ b) ⋅ ((1 / a) ⋅ (1 / b)) | ((a ⋅ b) ⋅ (1 / a)) ⋅ (1 / b) = (a ⋅ b) ⋅ ((1 / a) ⋅ (1 / b)) |
3 | (a ⋅ b) ⋅ ((1 / a) ⋅ (1 / b)) = 1 | if ((a ⋅ b) ⋅ (1 / a)) ⋅ (1 / b) = (a ⋅ b) ⋅ ((1 / a) ⋅ (1 / b)) and ((a ⋅ b) ⋅ (1 / a)) ⋅ (1 / b) = 1, then (a ⋅ b) ⋅ ((1 / a) ⋅ (1 / b)) = 1 |
