ra.rings and algebras - Problems concerning R and R[x]

A few questions relevant formally, but quite different in nature:



From now on, let R denote a ring.



  1. If R is a UFD , is R[x] also a UFD?


  2. If R is Noetherian, is R[x] also Noetherian?


  3. If R is a PID, is R[x] also a PID?


4. If R is an Artin ring, is R[x] also an Artin ring?



For 1, we all know it's Gauss's lemma.



For 2, we all know it's Hilbert's basis theorem.



For 3, we all know that in Z[x], the ideal (2,x) is not a principal ideal, so the answer is negative.



But what about 4?
