Proof of property 2
Show that
The proof depends on the following observation:
Since u and v are postive real numbers, there are numbers p and q with
and
As a result we note that
=
=
p
and
=
=
q
.
Starting with the left side of the identity we want to establish, we get
=
=
=
p
-
q
Starting with the right side of the identity, we get
=
=
p
-
q
