Prime Ideals in Polynomial Quotient Ring

40 Views Asked by At

Let $\mathbb{Z}[x]$ be the ring of polynomials in one variable over $\mathbb{Z}$.

I want to consider the quotient ring $R=\mathbb{Z}[x]/(2x)$. I would like to know how to find the prime ideals of $R$.

I am not sure how to tackle this question. I know about the classification of prime ideals of $\mathbb{Z}[x]$. However, I don't know how the ring $R$ looks like.

Does this even matter? Could we use the correspondence between prime ideals of the quotient ring $R$ and prime ideals of $\mathbb{Z}[x]$ containing $(2x)$?

Any hints are appreciated.
