Question

Let A and B be rings. Define addition and multiplication on the Cartesian product A x B by

                                        (x,y) + (x', y') = (x + x', y + y') and (x, y)(x', y') = (xx', yy').

 

Show that the A x B is also a ring using these axioms:

(A) is an Abelian Group

(B) Multiplication is associative

(C) Multiplication is distributive over addition.

 

When is A x B commutative? When is it a ring with unity? Deduce from these facts that  Z_2 x Z_3 is a commutative ring with unity write down its addition and multiplication tables.
