Rank of a tensor--- 2x2x2 Array

Can anybody give me an example of 2x2x2 Array whose tensor rank is 2

or

Can somebody show me why the tensor rank is two for the following 2x2x2 array. That is can you express as a sum of 2 outer products?
I am giving the entries of the first face and then the second face. I do realize I could have asked this question various other terminology--this is the one I am most comfortable one. I hope my question is clear. Thank you

The rank of a ##(2,2,2)-##tensor ##T## is the minimum ##m\in \mathbb{N}_0## such that there is an representation
$$
T=\sum_{k=1}^m u_k \otimes v_k \otimes w_k
$$
Thus you have just to make sure, that all ##u_k,v_k,w_k## are "sufficiently" linearly independent:
$$
T:= \begin{bmatrix}1\\0\end{bmatrix}\otimes \begin{bmatrix}0\\1\end{bmatrix}\otimes \begin{bmatrix}a\\b\end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix}0\\1\end{bmatrix}\otimes \begin{bmatrix}1\\0\end{bmatrix}\otimes \begin{bmatrix}c\\d\end{bmatrix}
$$

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##...
##\textbf{Exercise 10}:## I came across the following solution online: Questions: 1. When the author states in "that ring (not sure if he is referring to ##R## or ##R/\mathfrak{p}##, but I am guessing the later) ##x_n x_{n+1}=0## for all odd $n$ and ##x_{n+1}## is invertible, so that ##x_n=0##" 2. How does ##x_nx_{n+1}=0## implies that ##x_{n+1}## is invertible and ##x_n=0##. I mean if the quotient ring ##R/\mathfrak{p}## is an integral domain, and ##x_{n+1}## is invertible then...
The following are taken from the two sources, 1) from this online page and the book An Introduction to Module Theory by: Ibrahim Assem, Flavio U. Coelho. In the Abelian Categories chapter in the module theory text on page 157, right after presenting IV.2.21 Definition, the authors states "Image and coimage may or may not exist, but if they do, then they are unique up to isomorphism (because so are kernels and cokernels). Also in the reference url page above, the authors present two...
