I'm sory, I posted another problem. Show that $\mathbb{Z}_{11} [x]/\langle x^2-2\rangle $ and $\mathbb{Z}_{11} [x]/\langle x^2-3\rangle$ are not isomorphic
$\mathbb{Z}_{11} [x]/\langle x^2-2\rangle $ and $\mathbb{Z}_{11} [x]/\langle x^2-3\rangle$ are not isomorphic

The following steps lead to a solution:
$x^2 - 2$ has no solutions over the field of $11$ elements, while $x^2 - 3$ has a solution (namely $x = 5$).
The former ring is therefore a field, while the latter ring is not a field.
Conclude.
