**Exercise: Properties of Ring Homomorphisms**

**3. Let \( f : R \to S \) be a ring homomorphism**

(a) If \( I \) is an ideal of \( S \), prove the pre-image of \( I \), that is \( f^{-1}(I) \), is an ideal of \( R \).

(b) If \( P \) is a prime ideal of \( S \), prove \( f^{-1}(P) \) is a prime ideal of \( R \).

(c) If \( f \) is onto, prove that if \( J \) is any ideal of \( S \), then \( J = f(I) \) where \( I \) is an ideal of \( R \) containing \( \text{ker} f \).
