Idempotent elements in a ring (2)

An element r of a ring R is said to be idempotent if r2=r. Suppose that R is a commutative ring with unity containing an idempotent element e.

  1. Prove that 1e is also idempotent.

  2. Prove that eR and (1e)R are both ideals in R and that

    ReR×(1e)R.
  3. Prove that if R has a unique maximal ideal, then the only idempotent elements in R are 0 and 1.
