Consider the ring R = Z∞ = {(a1,a2,a3,···) : ai ∈ Z for all i}. It turns out that R forms a ring under the operations: (a1,a2,a3,···)+(b1,b2,b3,···)=(a1 +b1,a2 +b2,a3 +b3,···), (a1,a2,a3,···)·(b1,b2,b3,···)=(a1 ·b1,a2 ·b2,a3 ·b3,···) Let I = {(a1,a2,a3,···) ∈ Z∞ : all but finitely many ai are 0}. You may use without proof the fact that I forms an ideal of R. a) Is I principal in R? Prove your claim. b) Is I prime in R? Prove your claim....
