Question

For each point a∈R of the ring ≺R,+,⋅≻, the mapping θa:≺R,+,⋅≻→≺R,+,⋅≻ defined by

θa(x)=a⋅x,  ∀x∈R

is a one-to-one ring homomorphism.

 
True
False
Expert Solution
Step 1: Example taking

Consider R = Z

Then, we know obviously that (R, +, . ) is a ring. 

Consider a = 2.

So, 

 θ2(x)=2x
