Let F and G~be two vector fields in R2 . Prove that
if F~ and G~ are both conservative, then F~ +G~ is also
conservative. Note: Give a mathematical proof, not just an
example.
(A) Let a,b,c∈Z. Prove that if gcd(a,b)=1 and a∣bc, then
a∣c.
(B) Let p ≥ 2. Prove that if 2p−1 is prime, then p
must also be prime.

Let a < c < b, and let f be defined on [a,b]. Show that f
∈ R[a,b] if and only if f ∈ R[a, c] and f ∈ R[c, b]. Moreover,
Integral a,b f = integral a,c f + integral c,b f .
Prove the following:
(a) Let A be a ring and B be a field. Let f : A → B be a
surjective homomorphism from A to B. Then ker(f) is a maximal
ideal.
(b) If A/J is a field, then J is a maximal ideal.
Let f: A→B and g:B→C be maps.
(A) If f and g are both one-to-one
functions, show that g∘f is one-to-one.
(B) If g∘f is onto, show that g is
onto.
(C) If g∘f is one-to-one, show that f
is one-to-one.
(D) If g∘f is one-to-one and f is onto,
show that g is one-to-one.
(E) If g∘f is onto and g is one-to-one,
show that f is onto.
