Prove that L = {a + b √ 5i | a, b ∈ Q} is a field containing the
roots of x2 + 5. Moreover, prove that if Q ⊆ K ⊆ C is a
field containing the roots of x2 + 5, then L ⊆ K.
Answer correctly supporting with clear explanation.
Classify the set Q( √ 5i) as a ring or a field. To justify your
answer, show that the set satisfies the axioms for ring or
field.
(a) Prove that Q(sqareroot 5)={a+b sqareroot 5 ; a,b in Z} is a
subring of Z.
(b) Show that Q(sqareroot 5) is a conmutative ring.
(c) Show that Q(sqareroot 5) has a multiplicative identity.
(d) show that Q(sqareroot 5) is a field.(Hint : you want to
mulitply something by he conjugate.)
(Abstract Algebra)
Consider the following production function q = K
a L b. Assume that a+b>1. Assume
that the firm takes price of labor w, price of capital r and price
of the final product p as given and minimizes costs to produce a
given level of output q. Find the share of labor cost in total
value of the product wL/pq as a function of q, input prices, a and
b (there should not be p in your function). How does...
