Write out the addition and multiplication tables for the ring Z2[x]/(x^2 + x). Is Z2[x]/(x^2 + x) a field?
Solution : where
Addition table
.
Multiplication table
.
Now we talk weather is field or not
Since we know that every field is an Integral Domain
Here if we take Non zero elements
Then as discussed in Multiplication table
===> is Not an Integral domain hence cannot be field
