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.

Theorem 7: Let F/k be an extension field and ae F be algebraic over k. Then the following holds: i) k[x]/(m₂(x)) = k[a]; ii) k[a] =k(α); iii) [k[a]:k] = deg α. Proof: Let :k[x]→F:o(f(x))=f(a), be the evaluation map at a. You should check that is a well-defined ring homomorphism. Let deg α = n. i) Since a is algebraic over k, Kero is a non-trivial ideal of k[x]. We claim that Ker = (m₁(x)). Since m(a) = 0, and Ker o consists of all the non-zero polynomials in k[x] satisfied by a, we see that m(x) = Ker . Hence (m₁ (x)) ≤ Ker o. C Request explain where has Now, let g(x) = Ker , then g(a) = 0 and so p(x)|g(x) in k[x]. Consequently, g(x) = (m(x)), and hence Kero ≤(m(x)), proving the claim. Now, by the Fundamental Theorem of Ring Homomorphisms, k[x]/ K[X]{m, (x)) ≈ Im ✨ = k[c]. o ii) By (1) above, k[x]/(m²(x)) = k[c]. Since m. (x) is reducible, k[x)/(m₂(x)) coincide with its quotient field, i.e., k[a] = k(α). is a field. Consequently, k[a] is a field. Therefore, it must pers come from
