Binomial expansion in a ring


Assignment:

Let p be a prime. Show that in the ring Z-p (set of integers modulo p) we have (a+b)^p = a^p+b^p for all a, b in Z-p. The following hint was given: observe that the usual binomial expansion for (a+b)^n is valid in a commutative ring.

Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
