Please answer part b.

4. Let R = {m + n/2 | m, n e Z}.
(a) Show that m +n/2 is a unit in R if and only if m2 – 2n? =±1.
Hint: Show that if (m +n/2)(x + y/2) = 1, then (m – n/2)(x – yv2)
multiply the two equations.
= 1 and
(b) Show that 1+ 2/2 has infinite order in R*.
(c) Show that 1 and –1 are the only units that have finite order in R×.
