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 (b = 0) and not (a = 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)) = 1 and (a ⋅ (1 / a)) ⋅ (b ⋅ (1 / b)) = ((a ⋅ b) ⋅ (1 / a)) ⋅ (1 / b), then ((a ⋅ b) ⋅ (1 / a)) ⋅ (1 / b) = 1 |
