Modulisomorphism between $R/a\otimes_\mathbb{R} R/b\rightarrow R/(a\cup b)$

24 Views Asked by At

I have the following problem:

Let $R$ be a ring and $a,b\in R$ ideals in $R$. Show: $$R/a\otimes_\mathbb{R} R/b\rightarrow R/(a\cup b)$$ $$[x]\otimes[y]\rightarrow[x*y]$$ is a welldefined $R$-modulisomorphism.

I have two ideas:

$1.$ I could construct an inverse Isomorphism.

$2.$ I could use the compatibility of tensorproducts and quotients.

The problem is I found no solution using either way. Can someone help me please?
