Let A and B be rings. Define addition and multiplication on the Cartesian product A x B by
(x,y) + (x', y') = (x + x', y + y') and (x, y)(x', y') = (xx', yy').
Show that the A x B is also a ring using these axioms:
(A) is an Abelian Group
(B) Multiplication is associative
(C) Multiplication is distributive over addition.
When is A x B commutative? When is it a ring with unity? Deduce from these facts that Z₂ x Z3 is a
commutative ring with unity write down its addition and multiplication tables.
