You are doing this the wrong way around, as your scalars are in Z and so you can't just "pick" 1/n, any more than you can pick pi. In fact, closure under scalar multiplication is there. Pick d in Z and d(a,b,c) = (da,db,dc) is fine. The real problem is, I need an inverse. So if that exists, we have : e(da,db,dc) = (a,b,c) and e must exist in the set for (a,b,c) != (0,0,0). Now you are trying to find e that behaves like 1/d , but you've left the set - no good. |
