Show that {Q(√13,+,*} is a field?
Let Q(√13 ={x+y√13 where x,y are elements of Q}

Q of course is rational numbers
Addition and multiplication are defined as follows
(a+b√13)+(c+d√13) =(a+c)+(b+d)√13
(a+b√13)(c+d√13) = (ac+13bd)+(ad+bc)√13

Show that {Q(√13,+,*} is a field

If you copy and pasted this from Word, it will not display correctly. It is all garbled and no one can read it.

Show that {Q( square root of 13,+,*} is a field?
Let Q( square root of 13 ={x+y square root of 13 where x,y are elements of Q}

Q of course is rational numbers
Addition and multiplication are defined as follows
(a+b square root of 13)+(c+d square root of 13) =(a+c)+(b+d) square root of 13
(a+b square root of 13)(c+d square root of 13) = (ac+13bd)+(ad+bc) square root of 13
