Ideals in a polynomial ring (2)

Let F be a field and F[x] be the polynomial ring, which is a principal ideal domain. Let R={fF[x]:f(x)}, where (x)F[x] is the ideal generated by x, and f is the (formal) derivative of the polynomial f. It is a fact that R is a subring of F[x].

  1. Prove that x2 and x3 are irreducible elements of R.
  2. Let (x2,x3) be the ideal in R generated by x2 and x3. Prove this is a proper ideal of R.
  3. Prove that (x2,x3) is not a principal ideal of R.
