Let P be a prime ideal in a commutative ring R and let S = R\P, i.e. the complement of P in R. Pick out the true statements: (a) S is closed under addition. (b) S is closed under multiplication. (c) S is closed under addition and multiplication

    -1 for using the imperative "pick out the true statements" in a question addressed to actual people, which contribute here just for fun. We're not obliged to answer you. Consider giving your question a friendlier tone (e.g. "Please help me picking out the true statements..."), and some background on what you've tried.2012-09-18

    I don't care. I'm used to mathematical questions stated in the imperative. And I don't think I answer questions only for the questioners. There are several reasons why I answer(e.g. for fun, for reps, just bored, etc.).2012-09-18
