In Aluffi's book it says that $mathbb{Z}[x] to mathbb{Z}[x]/(2) times mathbb{Z}[x]/(x)$ is not surjective. To prove that I need to know how that means at all! Why it is not surjective if for any polynomial $q(x)$ we can write $(q(x)+2n_1, q(x)+n_2x)$?

The product on the right hand side is generated by $(1,0)$ and $(0,1)$. So the map is surjective if and only if these are in the image of the map, i.e. if there exist polynomials $f,ginBbb{Z}[x]$ such that
$$f longmapsto (1,0)qquadtext{ and }qquad g longmapsto (0,1).$$
Show that this is impossible.
