Given two terms a, b.
Sum of terms = a+b
Difference of terms = a-b
Product of sum and difference (do not forget parentheses)
=(a+b)(a-b)
which can be expanded as=a^2-b^2

We can make use of this property to calculate with lightning speed, assuming you know the squares of numbers.

For example,
8*6=(7+1)(7-1)=7^2-1^2=48
9*7=(8+1(8-1)=8^2-1^2=64-1=63
5*15 = (10+5)(10-5)=10^2-5^2=75
22*18=(20+2)(20-2)=20^2-2^2=400-4=396
63*57=(60+3)(60-3)=60^2-3^2=3600-9=3591
128*112=(120+8)(120-8)=120^2-8^2=14400-64=14336
We can go on and on!

Which axiom is used to prove that the product of two rational numbers is rational
aliina [53]

Answer:

First, a rational number is defined as the quotient between two integer numbers, such that:

N = a/b

where a and b are integers.

Now, the axiom that we need to use is:

"The integers are closed under the multiplication".

this says that if we have two integers, x and y, their product is also an integer:

if x, y ∈ Z ⇒ x*y ∈ Z

So, if now we have two rational numbers:

a/b and c/d

where a, b, c, and d ∈ Z

then the product of those two can be written as:

(a/b)*(c/d) = (a*c)/(b*d)

And by the previous axiom, we know that a*c is an integer and b*d is also an integer, then:

(a*c)/(b*d)

is the quotient between two integers, then this is a rational number.
