Ex 1.3, 2 Verify that a ÷ (b + c) ≠ (a ÷ b) + (a ÷c) for each of the following values of a, b and c. (a) a = 12, b = – 4, c = 2a ÷ (b + c) = 12 ÷ [(−4) + 2] = 12 ÷ [−4 + 2] = 12 ÷ −[4 − 2] = 12 ÷ (−2) = 𝟏𝟐/( −𝟐) = −6 (a ÷ b) + (a ÷ c) = [12 ÷ (−4)] + (12 ÷ 2) = 𝟏𝟐/( −𝟒) + 𝟏𝟐/𝟐 = (−12)/( 4) + 12/2 = −3 + 6 = 6 − 3 = 3 ∴ LHS ≠ RHS Hence verified
