Proof: Apply Associative Multiply
Let's prove the following theorem:
if b ⋅ c = d, then (a ⋅ b) ⋅ c = a ⋅ d
Proof:
Given
1 | b ⋅ c = d |
---|
# | Claim | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | (a ⋅ b) ⋅ c = a ⋅ (b ⋅ c) | (a ⋅ b) ⋅ c = a ⋅ (b ⋅ c) |
2 | a ⋅ (b ⋅ c) = a ⋅ d | if b ⋅ c = d, then a ⋅ (b ⋅ c) = a ⋅ d |
3 | (a ⋅ b) ⋅ c = a ⋅ d | if (a ⋅ b) ⋅ c = a ⋅ (b ⋅ c) and a ⋅ (b ⋅ c) = a ⋅ d, then (a ⋅ b) ⋅ c = a ⋅ d |
