\(R\) is a field, how many ideals does \(R\) have?
Prove that for all integers \(n\) exactly one of \(n, 2 n-1\), and \(2 n+1\) is divisible by 3 .
a) For ring \((R,+, \cdot)\) and each \(a \in R\), we define \(a^{1}=a\), and \(a^{n+1}=a^{n} a\), for all \(n \in \mathbf{Z}^{+}\). Prove that for all \(m, n\) \(\in \mathbf{Z}^{+},\left(a^{m}\right)\left(a^{n}\right)=a^{m+n}\) and \(\left(a^{m}\right)^{n}=a^{m n} .\) b) Can you suggest how we might define \(a^{0}\) or \(a^{-n}, n\) \(\in \mathbf{Z}^{+}\), including any necessary conditions that \(R\) must satisfy for these definitions to make sense?
If \(a, b\), and \(c\) are any elements in a ring \((R,+, \cdot)\), prove that (a) \(a(b-c)=a b-(a c)=a b-a c\) and (b) \((b-c) a=\) \(b a-(c a)=b a-c a\).
Prove that in any list of \(n\) consecutive integers, one of the integers is divisible by \(n\).
