$R[X]$ noetherian with $R$ non noetherian

1.8k Views Asked by At

Let $R$ be a ring. If $R[X]$ is noetherian, is R necessarily noetherian ?

I think that the answer is no, but could you show me the easiest example to understand ?

Recall that if a commutative ring $A$ is Noetherian and $I$ is an ideal in $A$, then $A/I$ is also Noetherian. In this problem, take $A=R[X]$ and $I=(X)$.
