- Give the statement of the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic.arrow_forwardAnother Field We'll let Q(√2) represent the set of numbers that can be written in the form a+b√2, where 'a' and 'b' and rational numbers (i.e., 'a' and 'b' are from 13 2 the set Q). For example, +¹3√2, 7.2-6√2, and 15 (= 15 + 0√2) are three numbers that would be in the set Q(√2), but √√3+ 4√2 or 3 + √2 would not be in the set Q(√2) (neither √√3 nor are rational numbers). A number such 3+5√2 would be in the set Q(√2) since 3+√2 can be re-written in the form 7 a+b√2 using the following steps: 7 7 3-5√2 21-35√2 21-35√2 21 - 35√2 21 35 == + √2 3+5√2 3+5√2 3-5√2 9 - 25(2) -41 41 41 = * Your task: Show that the system (Q(√2), +, *) is a field, where + is the ordinary addition operation and * is the ordinary multiplication operation.
