Lemma 10.68.8. Let R be a ring. Let 0 \to M_1 \to M_2 \to M_3 \to 0 be a short exact sequence of R-modules. Let f_1, \ldots , f_ r \in R. If f_1, \ldots , f_ r is M_1-regular and M_3-regular, then f_1, \ldots , f_ r is M_2-regular.

Proof. By Lemma 10.4.1, if f_1 : M_1 \to M_1 and f_1 : M_3 \to M_3 are injective, then so is f_1 : M_2 \to M_2 and we obtain a short exact sequence

0 \to M_1/f_1M_1 \to M_2/f_1M_2 \to M_3/f_1M_3 \to 0

The lemma follows from this and induction on r. Some details omitted. \square
