For any commutative ring R, R[x, y] is the ring of polynomials in x and y with coefficients in R (that is, R[x, y] consists of all finite sums of terms of the form axiyj, where a ∈ R and i and j are nonnegative integers). (For example, x4 – 3x2y – y3 ∈ Z[x, y].) Prove that is a prime ideal in Z[x, y] but not a maximal ideal in Z[x, y].
