Let R be the ring of all continuous functions from the closed interval [0,1] to R and for each c ∈ [0, 1] let Mc = {f ∈ R | f(c) = 0} (recall that Mc was shown to be a maximal ideal of R). (a) Prove that if M is any maximal ideal of R then there is a real number c ∈ [0, 1] such that M = Mc. (b) Prove that if b and c are distinct points in [0,1] then Mb ≠ Mc. (c) Prove that Mc is not equal to the principal ideal generated by x - c. (d) Prove that Mc is not a finitely generated ideal.

Let R be a commutative ring of prime characteristic p. Show that the function F : R → R defined by F(a) = ap is a ring homomorphism, called the Frobenius homomorphism of R.
