Question
(a) Show that the set of strictly positive reals: R(positive) = { a E R | a > 0}, provided with the operations defined below is a
- Addition: a + b = ab for all a, b E R(positive)
- Multiplication by a scalar: k*a=a^k, for all k E R and a E R (positive)
(b) Why is the set of positive reals { a E R | a ⩾ 0}, endowed with the same operations, is not a vector space?
