Open passage
The analogue of *4·78, i.e. is false. We have only
Open passage
A similar remark applies to the analogue of *4·79. Cf. *22·64·65.
Open passage
The proof proceeds as in *22·62. The proposition *22·621 is one of the most useful propositions in the present number.
Open passage
The process of obtaining *22·63 from *4·44 is of the same kind as the process employed in the proofs that have been written out in this number. Hence only *4·44 is referred to. We shall similarly restrict references for later propositions in this number. The process is always roughly as follows: , , are replaced by , , ; then *10·11 is applied, and such further propositions of *10 as may be required, together with *22·33·34·35.
Open passage
The converse of this proposition does not hold, because the converse of *10·41 does not hold.
Open passage
Here again the converse is untrue.
Open passage
The above propositions *22·68·69 are the two forms of the distributive law. Note that either results from the other by interchanging the signs of addition and multiplication.
