is there anyone can help me? Let S be set of real numbers which is closed under multiplication(that is,if a and b are in S,then so is ab).Let T and U be disjoint subsets of S whose union is S.Given that the product of any three(not necessarily distinct)elements in T is in T and that the product of any three elements of U is in U,show that at least one of the two subsets T, U is closed under multiplication.
