Question 6.5
(a) Give an example of a commutative ring without zero divisors that is not an integral
domain. If there is no such example, then state so.
(b) Give an example of a field that is not an integral domain. If there is no such example,
then state so.
(c) Prove or disprove: The ring
Z, , > is isomorphic to Z₂ × Z₂, 0, 0.
A, +, with underlying set A = {m+n√2: m,n € Z}, and a
with underlying set B = {m+n√-3: m, n € Z}.
Given a ring A =
ring B =<B,+,
(d) Show that the mapping 6: A → B defined by
0(m+n√-2)=m+n√-3
is one-to-one and onto. Show that the mapping is not a ring isomorphism.
