7. Suppose R is an integral domain having the property that R[c] is a PID.
Prove that R is a field as follows:
-
(a) Explain why the substitution homomorphism o: R[x] →→R (that is,
Ho(p(x)) = p(0)) is onto
(b) Determine kerpo as a principal ideal (just write what it equals - you
don't have to prove it). Why must kerjo be prime?
(c) Now, what can we say about a non-zero prime ideal in a PID?
(d) Make the conclusion that R is a field
