Problem:
Solution:
It is obvious that x∈I and y∈I, if I were a principal ideal then there exists f∈I such that every element in p∈I can be written as p=fgp.
Now fgx=x and fgy=y
Since deg(x)=1, so either f has degree 1 and gx has degree 0 or f has degree 0 and g has degree 1.
Suppose f has degree 1 so f=ax+by+c and therefore gx=d has degree 0. We found fgx=(adx+bdy+cd)=0, so ad=1 and hence d≠0, we also know b=c=0, so f=ax and gx=d. However, fgy=axgy=y, there couldn't be a polynomial gy that satisfy this, so f has to have degree 0.
Now f=e has degree 0, but then it implies e∈I, but there is not way e∈I because any constant cannot be written as p(x,y)x+q(x,y)y, so we conclude ⟨x,y.⟩ cannot be a principal ideal.
