find the maximal ideal of the ring $$ frac{mathbb{R}[x]}{ (x^2)} $$



My attempt :here the only proper ideal containing $(x^2)$ are $(x)$ and $(x^2)$, so , we have two maximal ideal that is $(x)$ and $(x^2)$



Is its correct ?



any hints/solution will be appreciated

    The quotient $mathbf R[x]/(x^2)$ is not a jeld, not even an integral domain, since $x$ is nilpotent ($x^2=0$ in the quotient). But $(x)$ is maximal since the quotient $mathbf R[x]/(x)$ is isomorphic tp $mathbf R$.

    @jasmine, $x^2 = x(x - 0) = 0$. So it has a root, so it is reducible, so it is not prime, so it is not maximal

Let $varphi:mathbb{R}[x]rightarrow R:=mathbb{R}[x]/(x^2)$ be the canonical homomorphism. There is a bijective correspondence between the ideals of $mathbb{R}[x]$ that contain the ideal $(x^2)$ and the ideals of R, given by $I mapsto varphi (I)$. The only ideals of $mathbb{R}[x]$ that contains $(x^2)$ are $mathbb {R}[x]$, $(x)$ and $(x^2)$, so $R$ has only three ideals: $R$, $(bar x)$ and $(bar x^2)$. Clearly $(0)=(bar x^2)subsetneq (bar x)subsetneq R$, which makes it clear that $(bar x)$ is the only maximal ideal of $R$.

    There is a bijective correspondence between the ideals of $x^2$ in $mathbb{R}[x]$ and in $dfrac{mathbb{R}}{x^2}$ by using Lattice Isomorphism Theorem. A maximal ideal in $dfrac{mathbb{R}}{x^2}$ corresponds to a maximal ideal in $mathbb{R}[x]$ that contains $(x^2)$. So, find such ideals. $mathbb{R}$ has three ideals which are $mathbb{R},(x),(x^2)$. Clearly, $(x)$ is the maximal ideal.

      Hint: The maximal ideal in $frac{Bbb R[x]}{(x^2)}$ is clearly $(x)$,because it is the only one containing $(x^2)$ as a proper subset.



      Towards a proof, note that $(x^2)$ contains all polynomials without an $x$ or a constant term. Next $(x)$ consists in those polynomials in $x$ with no constant term. It's pretty clear this is as far as it goes, because if there's a polynomial with a nonzero constant term, we can subtract the same polynomial minus that constant (which is also in the ideal by a simple argument, namely that it contains either $x^2$ or $x$) thus getting a nonzero constant (i.e. a unit).



      Let me clarify the last part by an example: so, why wouldn't $(x^2,x-6)$ be maximal? Well, multiply $(x-6)$ by $x$. Get $x^2-6x$. Subtract it from $x^2$. Get $6x$. From there we get $x$, then $6$, then $1$.
