Ideal of continuous functions vanishing at a point
Not what you're looking for?
Let C[a,b] be the ring of complex valued continuous functions on closed and bounded interval [a,b]. You may assume that it is a ring under the operation of addition and multiplication of functions.
Show that I_c = {f|f(c)= 0} is an ideal in this ring.

Question: I_c={f in C[a,b]|f(c)=0} is an ideal in the ring of complex valued continuous functions C[a,b].
The ring C[a,b] is a commutative ring (product of functions is commutative). A set I in a ring R is called an ideal if
- [(i)] (I,+) is a subgroup of (R,+).
