Given an integral domain D:= D, +, >, a ring
(a) Prove that the integral domain D is a field if and only if each equation ax = = b for a, b € D
and a 0 has a unique solution in D.
(b) Given a ring S. For each s € S define a mapping ,: S→S by a, (a) = sa for each
a € S. If S is a commutative ring, explain why Kero, {0} if and only if s= 0 or s is
a zero divisor in S.
(c) For S a field and s 0, explain why o, defined in (b) is an isomorphism of the additive
group of S onto itself.
(d) Prove that if C denotes any collection of subfields of a field F, then the intersection of all
the fields in C is also a subfield of F.
