- Consider the set ={[0],[2],[4],[6],[8]}10, with addition and multiplication as defined in 10. a. Is R an integral domain? If not, give a reason. b. Is R a field? If not, give a reason. [Type here][Type here]arrow_forwardExamples 5 and 6 of Section 5.1 showed that P(U) is a commutative ring with unity. In Exercises 4 and 5, let U={a,b}. Is P(U) a field? If not, find all nonzero elements that do not have multiplicative inverses. [Type here][Type here]arrow_forward14. Prove or disprove that is a field if is a field.arrow_forward
