What is the real number line? It's a set R with binary operations "+" and "*" and a binary relation "<" satisfying x+y=y+x (x+y)+z=x+(y+z) x*y=y*x (x*y)*z=x*(y*z) x*(y+z)=x*y+x*z there is an element "0" with x+0=x for all x there is an element "1" with x*1=x for all x there is an element "-1" with 1+(-1)=0 for each x <> 0 there is an element "1/x" with x*(1/x) = 1 if a>b then a+c > b+c if a>b and c>0 then a*c > b*c for all a either a>0 or a<0 or a=0 (only one). Every nonempty bounded subset S of R has a least upper bound. Show: For all "a" there is a "b" with a+b=0. If a>0 then (-1)*a<0.
