1. Prove that the product 𝑎 × 𝑏 and −𝑎 × 𝑏 are negatives of each other.

From the figure given, we have a triangle with three points, 0, 𝑏, and 𝑎 × 𝑏. First, we must construct the
triangle for −𝑎 × 𝑏. This triangle will have the points 0, 𝑏, and −𝑎 × 𝑏. We want to show that these two
triangles are congruent, but face different directions.

We know that the side length 0 to 𝑏 is a shared side for both triangles, so these triangles have one
congruent side. By definition of inverse, we know −𝑎 and 𝑎 are the same length, but in different directions.
Thus, we get that the length 0 to 𝑎 × 𝑏 and 0 to −𝑎 × 𝑏 are the same length, so the two triangles have
another congruent side. We can use the definition of inverse again and get that the length 𝑏 to 𝑎 × 𝑏 is
equal to 𝑏 to −𝑎 × 𝑏, so we get a third congruent side. Therefore, the two triangles are congruent and
negatives of each other.

2. Prove that the products -a x b and a x -b are equal.

Suppose -a x b lies at 𝛼. Let 𝛽 denote a x -b.


NTS: -a x b is concurrent to a x – b at 𝛼. That is, Δ0b𝛼 ≅ Δ0(−b)β and 𝛼 = 𝛽.

5. Prove that 1 × 𝑎 = 𝑎
The first line will be drawn through 1 horizontal a and vertical 1. The second line will be parallel to the first
line. The intersection of these two lines is the product of 1*a=a on the x- axis.

6. Show that 0 x a = a
By definition of the construction the product of 0 x a is at (0,0). So, 0 x a = 0.
7. Prove that 𝑎 × 0 = 0.
From the figure, we are given the line 1 to 𝑎 so that we have 𝑎 × 1 = 𝑎. Thus, 𝑎 × 0 is parallel to the line we are
given. This line crosses through both the y and x-axis through 0, so 𝑎 × 0 = 0.

8. Prove that a ÷ 1=a


w.t.s a÷1=a
Suppose 1<b. We already know that AB∥ CD, < 𝐶𝑂𝐷 ≅ < 𝐴𝑂𝐵, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 < 𝑂𝐴𝐵 ≅ 𝑂𝐶𝐷.
This tells us that our triangles are similar, which also tells us
𝑂𝐵 𝑂𝐴 𝑎 𝑏 𝑎
= so then 𝑥 = 1 ⟹ 𝑏 = 𝑥
𝑂𝐷 𝑂𝐶

Now let b=1, then L and M are the same line.


𝑎 1 𝑎
Therefore 𝑎 = 1 ⟹ =𝑎

9. Prove that 0 ÷ a =0
w.t.s 0÷a=0
𝑎
We know that from the given example that point x=𝑏 is obtained from the line M parallel to line L, crossing
point x on the horizontal axis.
Now if we chose a new vertical point on the graph, we will call this point r, letting r=0. Then we will
construct a line S which will also be parallel to line L. We know that the point at which line S crosses the
horizontal axis will give a quotient of a÷ 0, but as the horizontal and vertical point are the same point, we
have 0÷ 0 = 0.

10. Prove that division by 0 is undefined.


W.T.S. that a÷0 = undefined
The first line will go through point a along the x-axis. The second line is going to be parallel to the first line,
but it will go through 1. As seen by the figure below, the blue lines will never touch, therefore there is no
solution to a÷0.

11. Prove that a÷ 2 doubles a.

The first line will go through point a and ½. The second line will be parallel to the first line but going through 1.
1
The intersection of the second line and the x-axis demonstrates that solution to a÷ 2 By setting up the
1/2 1 1
proportions, we will have 𝑎
= 𝑥. Solving this, we get, 2 ∗ 𝑥 = 𝑎. Therefore x=2*a. Therefore, the solution to
1
𝑎 ÷ = 2𝑎
