Let R and S be rings, F a field, and f : R → S, g : F → R ring homomorphims. (a) Prove that, for any r ∈ R and n ∈ Z, f (nr) = nf (r). (b) Prove that for c ∈ F with c ̸= 0, if f (c) = 0R, then f is the zero map, i.e. for all x ∈ F , f (x) = 0R. (c) Prove that f if f is not the zero homomorphism, then f is injective.
