State and prove Zorn's Lemma. [You may assume Hartogs' Lemma.] Indicate clearly where in your proof you have made use of the Axiom of Choice.

Show that R\mathbb{R} has a basis as a vector space over Q\mathbb{Q}.

Let VV be a vector space over Q\mathbb{Q}. Show that all bases of VV have the same cardinality.

[Hint: How does the cardinality of VV relate to the cardinality of a given basis?]
