ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
Definition?1: An integral domain D is said to be ordered if there is a subset of D such that:
(i) Closure under addition: If , then
(ii) Closure under multiplication: If , then
(iii) Law of trichotomy: If , then exactly one of the following is true, or
Note: The elements of are called the positive elements of D
Definition-2: Assume that D is an ordered integral domain and . Then will mean that . If , we say that a is greater than b and that b is less than a
Lemma-1: If and , then
Lemma-2: If D is well ordered integral domain with unity e, then e is the least element of
Corollary-1: If D is an ordered integral domain and , then
