URGENT Field Proofs help.
I need to prove the following:
1) Prove that if x, y are elements of a field, and X x Y = 0 then either x = 0 or y = 0 .
Write a detailed solution. and mention which of the eld axioms you are using.
2) Let F be a field in which 1 + 1 = 0 . Prove that for any x ∈ F , x = -x
I don't understand how to approach these proofs, since they are so obvious:
1) x times y = 0, of course it will be either x = 0 or y =0, since anything times 0 is 0, but how to go about proving this, I am stuck
2) 1+1=0 => just bring 1 to the right side 1=-1 then for any x=-x. But I don't think this any good of a proof.
I really need some help here, thanks !
