Question

Consider the following function that maps from ?6 to ?6. f : ?6 ? ?6 [x] ? [5][x] (a) Prove that f is a bijection. (In other words, prove that f is both surjective and injective.) (i.e., prove that f is both one-to-one and onto.) (b) Show (by providing an explicit counterexample) that f is not a ring isomorphism.
