Answer no. 2 only.

1. Consider the set M = {(a, b, c, 0): a, b, c E Q} with addition and multiplication defined by
(a, b, c,0) + (e, f, g,0) = (a + e,b+f,c + g,0)
(a, b, c, 0) (e, f, g,0) = (ae + bg, af, ce, cf)
for all (a, b, c, 0), (e, f, g, h) E M. Show that M is a ring under the defined operations addition
and multiplication.
2. Show that P = {(a, -a, 0,0): a € Z} with addition and multiplication defined by
(a, -a, 0, 0) + (b,-b, 0,0) = (a + b,-a - b,0,0)
(a, -a, 0, 0) (b, -b, 0,0) = (ab, -ab, 0,0)
is a subring of M in #1. Is P commutative or non-commutative? Why?
