Statement

Let R be a commutative unital ring, and I be an ideal contained inside the Jacobson radical of R. Let M be a finitely generated R-module. Then the following are true:

  • If IM=M then M=0
  • If m1,m2,,mn have images in M/IM that generate it as a R-module, then m1,m2,,mn generate M as a R-module
