How do we prove or visualize $[x+(x-2)]=[2+(x-2)]$ the same way we prove or visualize $0+5mathbb Z = 5 +...

Denote $langle x-2rangle$ as the principal ideal generated by $x-2$ in the polynomial ring $mathbb R[x]$.





  1. $[x+langle x-2rangle]$ and $[2+langle x-2rangle]$ are elements of the quotient ring $mathbb R[x]/langle x-2rangle$, which happens to be a field because $x-2$ is monic irreducible in $mathbb R[x]$ (and the Proposition here).


Here is what I tried:



Let us take an element in one side and show it is in the other side. One of the elements in $[x+langle x-2rangle]$ is $x+x(x-2)$. Now we must find $q in mathbb R[x]$ such that



$$x+x(x-2) = 2+q(x-2)$$



And it is $q(x)=x+1$ by solving for $q$.



In general for $x+r(x-2)$ and $r in mathbb R[x]$, $q=r+1$.



Right to left is similar.



Is that correct?




  1. And then in general, to show


$$[a+langle x-2rangle] = [b+langle x-2rangle]$$ for elements $overline a=overline b$ in $mathbb R[x]/langle x-2rangle$, to show an element on the left hand side is on the right hand side, we are given and $r$ and must find $q$ such that



$$a+r(x-2)=b+q(x-2)$$



and we solve for $q$:



$$a+r(x-2)=b+q(x-2)$$



$$iff a-b+r(x-2)= q(x-2)$$



$$iff c(x-2)+r(x-2)= q(x-2), c in mathbb R[x]$$



$$iff (c+r)(x-2)= q(x-2), c in mathbb R[x]$$



Therefore $q=c+r$ where $c$ exists as a polynomial with coefficients in $mathbb R$ by definition of "$overline a=overline b$ in $mathbb R[x]/langle x-2rangle$", which is that as



$overline a=overline b$ in $mathbb Z/langle n rangle$" means that $a-b=cn$ for some $c in mathbb Z$,



$overline a=overline b$ in $mathbb R[x]/langle p rangle$" means that $a-b=cp$ for some $c in mathbb R[x]$.



Is that correct?

    In general, if $I$ is an ideal then $a + I = b + I$ iff $a-bin I$. That is often (such as here) a lot easier to work with.

    @JackBauer The quotient itself is defined as the set of equivalence classes under the relation $a-b in I$, so checking that two equivalence classes are the same is equivalent to checking if the two given representatives are related or not. For example, just because $x - (+2) = x-2 in langle x-2rangle$, it follows that $x + langle x-2rangle = 2 + langle x-2rangle$.

    The analogy should be $5+5mathbb Z=0+5mathbb Z$ and $[x-2+langle x-2 rangle] = [0+langle x-2 rangle]$:



    $$5+5mathbb Z = 5+{...,-5,0,5,...} = 0+{...,0,5,10,...}=0+5mathbb Z$$



    or



    $$5+5mathbb Z = 5+{5m} = 0+{5+5m}=0+{5(m+1)}=0+{5(n)}$$



    Similarly,



    $$x-2+langle x-2 rangle = x-2+{(x-2)(p)} = 0+{(x-2)(p+1)} = 0+{(x-2)(q)}$$

                  $$5+5mathbb Z = 5+{5m} = 0+{5+5m}=0+{5(m+1)}=0+{5(n)}$$



                  Similarly,



                  $$x-2+langle x-2 rangle = x-2+{(x-2)(p)} = 0+{(x-2)(p+1)} = 0+{(x-2)(q)}$$
