Follow-up Question
can you help with part c) ?

Transcribed Image Text:(c) Assume that M₂ (R) has already been proved to be a ring. If you wanted to prove
that S was a ring, which axioms would follow immediately from the fact that
M₂ (R) is a ring, and for which axioms would there be something else to check?
