Right Operation is Associative
Theorem
The right operation is associative:
- $\forall x, y, z: \paren {x \to y} \to z = x \to \paren {y \to z}$
Proof
| \(\ds \paren {x \to y} \to z\) | \(=\) | \(\ds y \to z\) | Definition of Right Operation | |||||||||||
| \(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds z\) | Definition of Right Operation |
| \(\ds x \to \paren {y \to z}\) | \(=\) | \(\ds x \to z\) | Definition of Right Operation | |||||||||||
| \(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds z\) | Definition of Right Operation |
