Inverses of elements for (Part One) an ideal generated by a reducible polynomial and (Part Two) an...

Let $langle x^2-4 rangle$ denote the ideal generated by the polynomial $x^2-4$. (Artin uses $(x^2-4)$.)



In connection with this Visualizing quotient polynomial rings are fields for maximal ideals which are generated by irreducible monic



Part One: Inverses in the quotient ring $mathbb R[x]/langle x^2-4 rangle$.




  1. Consider the quotient ring $mathbb R[x]/langle x^2-4 rangle$ and one of its elements $overline {x^2-2x} = [x^2+2x+langle x^2-4 rangle]$. I think this element has no multiplicative inverse because $x^2-2x=0$ for $x=2$. Is that correct?


  2. In the quotient ring, $mathbb R[x]/langle x-2 rangle$, the relation is "x=2". This relation is used to compute inverses. What exactly is the relation in the quotient ring $mathbb R[x]/langle x^2-4 rangle$? I think it is "$x=2$ or $x=-2$".


  3. In the quotient ring $mathbb R[x]/langle x^2-4 rangle$, does the element $overline {x+1} = [x+1+langle x^2-4 rangle]$ have an inverse, and why? If so, then what is it? (I think I can answer these if I know the answer for 2.)



Part Two: Inverses in the quotient ring $mathbb R[x]/langle x^2+1 rangle$.



For the quotient ring $mathbb R[x]/langle x-2 rangle$, the relation is $x=2$ so inverse of $overline p = [p(x)+langle x-2 rangle]$ is $overline {frac{1}{p(2)}}$.



For the quotient ring $mathbb R[x]/langle x^2+1 rangle$, I believe $x^2+1$ is irreducible in $mathbb R[x]$, so $mathbb R[x]/langle x^2+1 rangle$ is a field.



To compute the inverse of $overline p = [p(x)+langle x^2+1 rangle]$, I believe I need the relation in the quotient ring $mathbb R[x]/langle x^2+1 rangle$.




  1. What's the relation in the quotient ring $mathbb R[x]/langle x^2+1 rangle$? I think it is "$x= i$ or $x=-i$".


  2. What is the inverse of $overline p = [p(x)+langle x^2+1 rangle]$?



( I think I will know the answer if I know the answer to 2 in Part One.)

    $(x+1)(ax+b)=ad+(a+b)x+a(x^2+b/a-d)=1+c(x^2-4)$. $a=-b$, $d=3$, $a=1/3$. Inverse is $(x-1)/3$. Check, we get $x^2/3-1/3=(x^2-4)/3+1$.

    $x^2-2x=x(x-2)$ is a zero divisor. No inverse.

    You can't get this ring by substituting a real number, so it's neither $2$ nor $-2$. We have $(x-2)(x+2)=0$, and there's no real number satisfying this.

    For the quotient by $(x^2+1)$, note that $x^2=-1$. Again there's no real number satisfying this, but there is a complex number satisfying it.

How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

Image
3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question ...

Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title.
