Question

For each ring R and subset S given below, determine whether S is an ideal in R. (a) R = Z S = {even numbers} (b) R = Z S = {odd numbers} (c) R = C S = R (d) R = {functions from R to R} S = {f ? R | f(3) = 0} (Note: This is not the same as the ring of polynomials with coefficients in R. For example, e^x is a function from R to R, but it isn't a polynomial.)

Step 1

An ideal I in a ring R is a subset of R such that: - For any elements a and b in I, the difference a - b is also in I. - For any element r in R and any element a in I, both the products ra and ar are in I. Show more…

For each ring R and subset S given below, determine whether S is an ideal in R. (a) R = Z S = {even numbers} (b) R = Z S = {odd numbers} (c) R = C S = R (d) R = {functions from R to R} S = {f ∈ R | f(3) = 0} (Note: This is not the same as the ring of polynomials with coefficients in R. For example, e^x is a function from R to R, but it isn't a polynomial.)
