Let $mathbb{C}[X]$ be a module over itself. Given $z in mathbb{C}$ define $M_z = { f(X) in mathbb{C}[X] | f(z) = 0}$. $M_z$ is a submodule of $mathbb{C}[X]$. Give a $mathbb{C}$-basis for $M_z$.




Now the way I understand it, to provide a $mathbb{C}$-basis for $M_z$ means that we consider $M_z$ as a $mathbb{C}$-module and then provide a basis for it as a $mathbb{C}$ module. However I'm not sure if it's possible to do that.



I know that if we consider $M_z$ as a $mathbb{C}[X]$ module then $X-z$ is a basis for $M_z$, the reason for that is that any $f(X) in M_z$ can be expressed in the form $f(X) = (X-z)g(X)$ for some $g(X) in mathbb{C}[X]$. However when considering $M_z$ as a $mathbb{C}$-module I don't have any ideas as to what I basis should even look like.



Is it possible to obtain a $mathbb{C}$-basis for $M_z$?
