- Prove that any field that contains an intergral domain D must contain a subfield isomorphic to the quotient field Q of D.arrow_forwardSuppose S is a subset of an field F that contains at least two elements and satisfies both of the following conditions: xS and yS imply xyS, and xS and y0S imply xy1S. Prove that S is a field. This S is called a subfield of F. [Type here][Type here]arrow_forward8. Prove that the characteristic of a field is either 0 or a prime.arrow_forward
- Prove that if R is a field, then R has no nontrivial ideals.arrow_forward14. a. If is an ordered integral domain, prove that each element in the quotient field of can be written in the form with in . b. If with in , prove that if and only if in .arrow_forwardProve that if F is an ordered field with F+ as its set of positive elements, then F+nen+, where e denotes the multiplicative identity in F. (Hint: See Theorem 5.34 and its proof.) Theorem 5.34: Well-Ordered D+ If D is an ordered integral domain in which the set D+ of positive elements is well-ordered, then e is the least element of D+ and D+=nen+.arrow_forward

Show that the characteristic of divides .arrow_forwardLet R be a commutative ring with unity whose only ideals are {0} and R Prove that R is a field.(Hint: See Exercise 30.)arrow_forwardProve that any ordered field must contain a subfield that is isomorphic to the field of rational numbers.arrow_forward
- Prove that if R and S are fields, then the direct sum RS is not a field. [Type here][Type here]arrow_forward18. Let be the smallest subring of the field of rational numbers that contains . Find a description for a typical element of .arrow_forwardLet ab in a field F. Show that x+a and x+b are relatively prime in F[x].arrow_forward
