Question: Let R = {a + b2 | a, b Z} and let R' consist of all 2 x 2 matrices of the form Show

Let R = {a + b√2 | a, b ∈ Z} and let R' consist of all 2 x 2 matrices of the form[a b] for a, b Z.

Show that R is a subring of !R. and that R' is a subring of M2(Z). Then show that ∅ : R → R', where ∅(a + b√2) =

ls an isomorphism.
