show that if A is an ordered integral domain, then max A and min A do not exist. What does this imply about finite integral domains?

thanks for the help.

Answer #1

If possible let max(A) exists. Let a = max(A).

Since A is an integral domain, so it is a ring , also it is a group and therefore it satisfies the closure property.

So, by closure property, a + a belongs to A and a - a belongs to A. That is 2a belongs to A and 0 belongs to A. Then a fails to be the maximum max(A).

Similarly if possible let b= min(B).

By closure property b - b = 0 belongs to A, and b + b = 2b belongs to A.

Again b fails to be the minimum of A.

So , max(A) and min(A) doesn't exists.

Second part :

Let the Integral domain is finite. If it is ordered integral domain then there will be no maximum and no minimum and therefore it can not be finite. So, the finite integral domains are not ordered. Otherwise it will be infinite.

PLEASE DO IT IN C++ ONLY. THE MIN-MAX DIGIT PROBLEM Write a function named minMaxDigit() that accepts an integer as an input parameter and returns the largest and smallest digits using the two output parameters min and max. For example, the call minMaxDigit(68437, min, max) would set min to 3 and max to 8. If there is only one digit, then both min and max are set to the same value. The function has no return statement.

Sequence analysis suggests the following: (18 points) The protein has 7 transmembrane domains spaced evenly in the middle of the protein.

At the extreme C-terminus is a protein domain that resembles a kinase domain.   This domain is incredibly likely to be intracellular. You have data to suggest that this domain interacts with cytosolic...
