I am trying to gain an understanding of the basics of elementary algebraic geometry and am reading Dummit and Foote Chapter 15: Commutative Rings and Algebraic Geometry ...
At present I am focused on Section 15.2 Radicals and Affine Varieties ... ...
I need help on an apparently simple aspect of the proof of Proposition 11
Proposition 11 and its proof reads as follows:View attachment 4781Now in the above text the first task is to show that rad I is an ideal ... but ... D&F do not bother to do this ... presumably they think it is obvious ... but i have not been able to formulate a formal and rigorous proof of this ... can someone help by providing a rigorous and formal proof that rad I is an ideal ...
Help will be appreciated ...
