Let R be the subring {x + yi : x, y in 2Z} of C, and
let I be the ideal {x + yi : x,y in 2Z}of R.
How many additive cosets has I in R? List them clearly.

I know definition of ideal but ı don't know how to write in set is that question describe.Please help :)

Did you make a typo?? The way you wrote it implies that I=R.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
