1. Let ./ be an ideal of the ring R. Show that the ring R/J is commutative if and only if
xy-yx € J for every x,y E R. Deduce that if K, and
K₂ are ideals of R and both R/K, and R/K₂ are commutative, then R/(K₁ K₂) is also
commutative.
2. Suppose that D is an integral domain and that J and K are ideals of D neither of
which equals {0}. Show that Jn K = {0}.
