I have a tablet so I have made a PDF of all my work and the problem. the file is attached to this post. please let me know if i am on the right track or give me a hint. I am currently stuck in attempt 2 and don't like my solution in attempt 1.
attempt 1: at the very last step I am using multiplicative inverses and I haven't proved that they must exist. but since I have shown that a multiplicative identity is required, it shouldn't be hard to prove that inverses exist also but i don't know if it will be required..?
attempt 2: took a different approach at the problem, and while it's a bit more complicated in the end and is unfinished (this is where i am stuck), I think it's the better attempt.
thank you,
RK
