Assume for every additive right exact functor into an abelian category. Given a subobject of a projective, let be its cokernel in a category. The sequence is exact, and dimension shifting gives for every . The projectivity criterion proved in the root solution makes projective. This gives (ii)(i).
For any short exact sequence , the long exact sequence now starts at the relevant place withIt is exact because the preceding term vanishes. This is precisely left exactness of , proving .
