- Label each of the following statements as either true or false. Every subring of a ring R is an idea of R.arrow_forwardTrue or false Label each of the following statements as either true or false. A ring homomorphism from a ring To a ring must preserve both ring operations.arrow_forwardLet I be an ideal in a ring R with unity. Prove that if I contains an element a that has a multiplicative inverse, then I=R.arrow_forward
