We have $(mathbbQ^2,+)$ with the operation $(x,y)+(x',y')=(x+x',y+y')$. For $ain mathbbQ$ and $(x,y)in mathbbQ^2$ we have that $acdot (x,y)=(acdot x, acdot y)$.



Let $f:mathbbQ^2rightarrow mathbbQ^2$ be a group homomorphism.



I want to show that $f(acdot (x,y))=acdot f(x,y)$ for all $ain mathbbZ$ and $(x,y)in mathbbQ^2$.



For that do we have to write $a(x,y)$ as an addition of each component a times to use the operation that's given?



$$$$



EDIT:



I have shown that $f(acdot (x,y))=acdot f(x,y)$ for all $ain mathbbN_0$. To show that it holds for $mathbbZ$ we have to show that $f((−a)cdot (x,y))=−acdot f(x,y)$, or not? But how?

I assume it is supposed to be the case that $ain mathbbZ$. My advice would be to think of a small example and see if you can generalize $f(3cdot (x,y))=f((x,y)+(x,y)+(x,y))=f(x,y)+f(x,y)+f(x,y)=3cdot f(x,y)$. What if it were $f((-3)cdot (x,y))$? Induction to prove it carefully.

    Prove it first for $a in mathbb Z$. Let $f(frac1n(a,b)) = (c,d)$. Then by the result for $a in mathbb Z$, $f(a,b) = (nc,nd)$, so $f(frac1n(a,b)) = frac1nf(a,b)$.
