find the maximal ideal of the ring ?.
find the maximal ideal of the ring $$ frac{mathbb{R}[x]}{ (x^2)} $$
My attempt :here the only proper ideal containing $(x^2)$ are $(x)$ and $(x^2)$, so , we have two maximal ideal that is $(x)$ and $(x^2)$
Is its correct ?
any hints/solution will be appreciated

The quotient $mathbf R[x]/(x^2)$ is not a jeld, not even an integral domain, since $x$ is nilpotent ($x^2=0$ in the quotient). But $(x)$ is maximal since the quotient $mathbf R[x]/(x)$ is isomorphic tp $mathbf R$.

@jasmine, $x^2 = x(x - 0) = 0$. So it has a root, so it is reducible, so it is not prime, so it is not maximal

Let $varphi:mathbb{R}[x]rightarrow R:=mathbb{R}[x]/(x^2)$ be the canonical homomorphism. There is a bijective correspondence between the ideals of $mathbb{R}[x]$ that contain the ideal $(x^2)$ and the ideals of R, given by $I mapsto varphi (I)$. The only ideals of $mathbb{R}[x]$ that contains $(x^2)$ are $mathbb {R}[x]$, $(x)$ and $(x^2)$, so $R$ has only three ideals: $R$, $(bar x)$ and $(bar x^2)$. Clearly $(0)=(bar x^2)subsetneq (bar x)subsetneq R$, which makes it clear that $(bar x)$ is the only maximal ideal of $R$.

There is a bijective correspondence between the ideals of $x^2$ in $mathbb{R}[x]$ and in $dfrac{mathbb{R}}{x^2}$ by using Lattice Isomorphism Theorem. A maximal ideal in $dfrac{mathbb{R}}{x^2}$ corresponds to a maximal ideal in $mathbb{R}[x]$ that contains $(x^2)$. So, find such ideals. $mathbb{R}$ has three ideals which are $mathbb{R},(x),(x^2)$. Clearly, $(x)$ is the maximal ideal.

There is a bijective correspondence between the ideals of $x^2$ in $mathbb{R}[x]$ and in $dfrac{mathbb{R}}{x^2}$ by using Lattice Isomorphism Theorem. A maximal ideal in $dfrac{mathbb{R}}{x^2}$ corresponds to a maximal ideal in $mathbb{R}[x]$ that contains $(x^2)$. So, find such ideals. $mathbb{R}$ has three ideals which are $mathbb{R},(x),(x^2)$. Clearly, $(x)$ is the maximal ideal.
