- Let I be an ideal in a ring R with unity. Prove that if I contains an element a that has a multiplicative inverse, then I=R.arrow_forward24. If is a commutative ring and is a fixed element of prove that the setis an ideal of . (The set is called the annihilator of in the ring .)arrow_forwardExercises Let be an ideal of a ring , and let be a subring of . Prove that is an ideal ofarrow_forward
- Prove that if a is a unit in a ring R with unity, then a is not a zero divisor.arrow_forwardExercises If and are two ideals of the ring , prove that the set is an ideal of that contains each of and . The ideal is called the sum of ideals of and .arrow_forward27. If is a commutative ring with unity, prove that any maximal ideal of is also a prime ideal.arrow_forward
- Label each of the following statements as either true or false. The only ideal of a ring R that property contains a maximal ideal is the ideal R.arrow_forward19. Find a specific example of two elements and in a ring such that and .arrow_forwardLet R and S be arbitrary rings. In the Cartesian product RS of R and S, define (r,s)=(r,s) if and only if r=r and s=s, (r1,s1)+(r2,s2)=(r1+r2,s1+s2), (r1,s1)(r2,s2)=(r1r2,s1s2). Prove that the Cartesian product is a ring with respect to these operations. It is called the direct sum of R and S and is denoted by RS. Prove that RS is commutative if both R and S are commutative. Prove RS has a unity element if both R and S have unity elements. Given as example of rings R and S such that RS does not have a unity element.arrow_forward
