About This Quiz

Thanks to the Axiom V of Archimedes’ On the Sphere and Cylinder, the axiom of Archimedes (or Archimedean axiom, Archimedes' axiom, Archimedes' lemma, or the continuity axiom) is one of the most widespread concepts in mathematical analysis and the field of abstract algebra.
It states that one magnitude can find a multiple of either of two magnitudes which will exceed the other, given the magnitudes have a ratio.

     What is the property of the element?  - ProProfs

     What is the property of the element? 

    • Infinitely small

    • Large

    • Equal

    • Small

    Correct Answer
    A. Infinitely small
    Explanation
    The property of the element is described as "infinitely small." This implies that the element is extremely tiny or minuscule in size.

    Which property must be Archimedean in the context of ordered field? - ProProfs

    Which property must be Archimedean in the context of ordered field?

    • Field of the trigonometric functions

    • Field of real numbers

    • Field of integers

    • Field of rational functions

    Correct Answer
    A. Field of real numbers
    Explanation
    The property that must be Archimedean in the context of an ordered field is the field of real numbers. The Archimedean property states that for any two positive numbers a and b, there exists a positive integer n such that na > b. This property is important in the real numbers because it allows for the concept of limits and the ability to compare and order real numbers. The other options, such as the field of trigonometric functions, integers, and rational functions, do not necessarily have this property.

    What do we call a structure in which neither of the non-zero elements is infinitesimal with respect to the other?  - ProProfs

    What do we call a structure in which neither of the non-zero elements is infinitesimal with respect to the other? 

    • Non-Archimedean

    • Archimedean

    • Linear-Archimedean

    • Algebraic-Archimedean

    Correct Answer
    A. Archimedean
    Explanation
    An Archimedean structure is one in which neither of the non-zero elements is infinitesimal with respect to the other. In other words, there is no element that is infinitely smaller or larger than another element in the structure. This concept is important in mathematics and physics, as it allows for the comparison and measurement of quantities.

    A. Otto Stolz
    Explanation
    Otto Stolz is credited with giving the axiom of Archimedes its name.

    What do we call a structure in which a pair of non-zero elements is infinitesimal with respect to the other? - ProProfs

    What do we call a structure in which a pair of non-zero elements is infinitesimal with respect to the other?

    • Non-Archimedean

    • Archimedean

    • Linear-Archimedean

    • Algebraic-Archimedean

    Correct Answer
    A. Non-Archimedean
    Explanation
    A non-Archimedean structure refers to a mathematical system where there exist pairs of non-zero elements that are considered infinitesimal in comparison to the other elements. In such a structure, the concept of size or magnitude is not solely determined by the absolute value of the elements, but rather by their relative relationship to each other. This is in contrast to an Archimedean structure, where the concept of size is determined solely by the absolute value of the elements. The terms "Linear-Archimedean" and "Algebraic-Archimedean" are not relevant to the concept described in the question.

    The theory plays an important role in which of the following? 

    • Global field

    • Exponential functions

    • Local field

    • Trigonometric functions

    Correct Answer
    A. Local field
    Explanation
    The theory plays an important role in the local field.

    For linearly ordered group G, what do x and y denote? - ProProfs

    For linearly ordered group G, what do x and y denote?

    • Positive elements

    • Negative elements

    • Integers

    • Real numbers

    Correct Answer
    A. Positive elements
    Explanation
    The terms "x" and "y" in a linearly ordered group G denote positive elements. A linearly ordered group is a mathematical structure where the elements can be arranged in a linear order, and in this case, the elements represented by "x" and "y" are specifically the positive elements of the group.

    Which property must be non-Archimedean in the context of ordered field? - ProProfs

    Which property must be non-Archimedean in the context of ordered field?

    • Field of the trigonometric functions

    • Field of real numbers

    • Field of integers

    • Field of rational functions

    Correct Answer
    A. Field of rational functions
    Explanation
    The property that must be non-Archimedean in the context of an ordered field is the field of rational functions. An ordered field is said to be non-Archimedean if there exists an element that is greater than all the natural numbers. In the field of rational functions, there are elements that can be infinitely large, such as 1/x, where x approaches 0. This violates the Archimedean property, making the field of rational functions non-Archimedean.
