coordinate ring questions
Hello!
I need your help to solve this question
A subset X⊂k^n (k a field) is called algebraic if there exist polynomials f1,…,fm∈k[t1,…,tn] such that
X={x∈Kn|f1(x)=...=fm(x)=0}. The coordinate ring k[X] of X is the ring of all functions f:X→k that can be represented by some polynomial. That is, there exists a polynomial g∈k[t1,…,tn] such that f(x)=g(x) for all x∈X.
1- Show that for two different points x,y∈X there exists f∈k[X] with f(x)≠f(y).
2- Let k=Z_2=Z/2Z and X⊂k^2 be the set {(0,1),(1,0)}. Is X algebraic? Determine its coordinate ring.
3- Let g_i in N be a sequence of polynomials and define Y:={x∈k^n|gi(x)=0 ∀ i}. Show that Y is algebraic set.
Thanks
