      (a) If R is a commutative ring with unit element and M is an ideal of R then show that M is a maximal ideal of R if and only if R/M is a field. (b) If F is a finite field and 𝛼 ≠ 0, 𝛽 ≠ 0 are two elements of F then show that we (10) (20) can find elements a and b in F such that 1 + 𝛼𝑎2 + 𝛽𝑏 2 = 0. 

      (a) Let V be a finite-dimensional vector space over a field F and W be a subspace of V. Then show that W is finite-dimensional, dimW ≤ dim V and dim V/W = dim V – dim W. (b) Suppose V is a finite-dimensional vector space over a field F.

      (a) Use the Mean-Value Theorem to show that if f is differentiable on an interval I, and if |𝑓′(𝑥)| ≤ 𝑀 for all values of 𝑥 in I, then |𝑓(𝑥) − 𝑓(𝑦)| ≤ 𝑀|𝑥 − 𝑦| for all values of 𝑥 and 𝑦 in I.
