Definition An ordered field is a field F , together with a subset P ⊆ F, called the positive set, such that • R1: ∀x, y in P, x + y in P ; • R2: ∀x, y in P, x · y in P; • R3: ∀x in F, exactly one of the following must hold true: x in P, or − x in P, or x = 0. Also for a, b in F, We define a < b to mean b − a in P. Question 1 (1 pt). Show that 1 in P.
