- 14. Prove or disprove that is a field if is a field.arrow_forwardConsider the set S={[0],[2],[4],[6],[8],[10],[12],[14],[16]}18, with addition and multiplication as defined in 18. a. Is S an integral domain? If not, give a reason. b. Is S a field? If not, give a reason. [Type here][Type here]arrow_forwardConsider the set ={[0],[2],[4],[6],[8]}10, with addition and multiplication as defined in 10. a. Is R an integral domain? If not, give a reason. b. Is R a field? If not, give a reason. [Type here][Type here]arrow_forward
- 37. Let and be elements in a ring. If is a zero divisor, prove that either or is a zero divisor.arrow_forwardProve that if R and S are fields, then the direct sum RS is not a field. [Type here][Type here]arrow_forward15. (See Exercise .) If and with and in , prove that if and only if in . 14. 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_forward
- If is a finite field with elements, and is a polynomial of positive degree over , find a formula for the number of elements in the ring .arrow_forward44. Consider the set of all matrices of the form, where and are real numbers, with the same rules for addition and multiplication as in. a. Show that is a ring that does not have a unity. b. Show that is not a commutative ring.arrow_forwardExamples 5 and 6 of Section 5.1 showed that P(U) is a commutative ring with unity. In Exercises 4 and 5, let U={a,b}. Is P(U) a field? If not, find all nonzero elements that do not have multiplicative inverses. [Type here][Type here]arrow_forward
