Hello! (Smile)

Notice that in $\mathbb{C}[X,Y,Z]$:
$$V(Y-X^2,Z-X^3)=\{ (t,t^2,t^3)/ t \in \mathbb{C}\}$$

In addition, show that:

$$I(V(Y-X^2,Z-X^3))=<Y-X^2,-X^3>$$

Finally, prove that the ideal $<Y-X^2,Z-X^3>$ is a prime ideal of $\mathbb{C}[X,Y,Z]$. Conclude that the algebraic set $V(Y-X^2,Z-X^3)$ is irreducible.

Could you give me some hints to solve the above exercise? (Thinking)

Notice that in $\mathbb{C}[X,Y,Z]$:
$$V(Y-X^2,Z-X^3)=\{ (t,t^2,t^3)/ t \in \mathbb{C}\}$$

Could we do it maybe like that?

$$V(Y-X^2, Z-X^3)=\{(a,b,c) \in \mathbb{C}^3 | b-a^2=0, c-a^3=0 \Rightarrow b=a^2, c=a^3\}=\{(t, t^2, t^3)| t \in \mathbb{C}\}$$

In addition, show that:

$$I(V(Y-X^2,Z-X^3))=<Y-X^2,-X^3>$$

Is it like that?

$$I(V(Y-X^2, Z-X^3))=I(\{(t, t^2, t^3)|t \in \mathbb{C}\})=\{f(X,Y,Z) \in \mathbb{C}[X,Y,Z]|f(t,t^2,t^3)=0\}\overset{*}{=}\{(Y-X^2) \cdot g(X,Y,Z)+(Z-X^3) \cdot h(X,Y,Z) | g,h \in \mathbb{C}[X,Y,Z]\}=\langle Y-X^2, Z-X^3\rangle $$

At $(*)$ can we say it like that because we know from $V(Y-X^2, Z-X^3)=\{(t,t^2,t^3)|t \in \mathbb{C}\}$ that $(t,t^2,t^3)$ is a solution of $Y-X^2=0$ and $Z-X^3=0$ ?

Thread 'Determine whether ##125## is a unit in ##\mathbb{Z_471}##'
This is the question, I understand the concept, in ##\mathbb{Z_n}## an element is a is a unit if and only if gcd( a,n) =1. My understanding of backwards substitution, ... i have using Euclidean algorithm, ##471 = 3⋅121 + 108## ##121 = 1⋅108 + 13## ##108 =8⋅13+4## ##13=3⋅4+1## ##4=4⋅1+0## using back-substitution, ##1=13-3⋅4## ##=(121-1⋅108)-3(108-8⋅13)## ... ##= 121-(471-3⋅121)-3⋅471+9⋅121+24⋅121-24(471-3⋅121## ##=121-471+3⋅121-3⋅471+9⋅121+24⋅121-24⋅471+72⋅121##...
