4. Let Z[v2] = {a +bV2|a,b e Z}. Define addition and multiplication on Z[ V2] as
follows:
(a+b [v2 ]) + (c+d [ /2 ]) = (a+c) + (b+d)[ V2]
(a+b [ v2 ])(c+d [ /Z1)
(ac+2bd) + (ad+bc) V2
Prove or disprove the following statements:
(a) Z[ /2] is a ring.
(b) Z[ /2] is a commutative ring.
(c) Z[ V2] is a ring with unity.
(d) Z[ /2] is a field.
(e) Z[ /2] is an integral domain.
