  • The ideal $I= langle x,y ranglesubset k[x,y]$ is not principal [closed]

Let $mathbbF$ be a field. I want to show that the ideal $ xg + yh $
is not a principal ideal in $mathbbF[x, y]$. Do I work by contradiction first, i.e. assume that it is principal?

          Yup, a proof by contradiction seems to be the right way to go. Suppose that it is principal. Show that $x, y in I$. What does this tell you about the supposed generator? Why is this a contradiction?
