Problem 113 (difficulty: 4/10)

Define a rational function (a function which can be written as the ratio of two polynomial functions) to be positive if the leading coefficient of its denominator and denumerator has the same sign. Prove that this ordering (\(\displaystyle r>q \Leftrightarrow r-q\) positive) makes the field of rational functions into an ordered field.
