There are no roots of \(2x^3 + x + 1\) in \(\mathds{Z}_3\), so by Theorem 5.10 \(\mathds{Z}_3[x] / (2x^3 + x + 1)\) is a field, as it is irreducible by Corollary 4.19. \subsection{b} \label{sec:org68f838e} Since we've proven \(\mathds{Z}_3[x] / (2x^3 + x + 1)\) is a field, we know that \([2x + 1]\) must be a unit. By similar reasoning to the proof of Theorem 5.10 (1), \(gcd(2x + 1, 2x^3 + x + 1) = 1\) Then, \begin{equation*} \polylongdiv[style=A]{2x^3 + x + 1}{2x + 1} \end{equation*} Shows that: \begin{align*} 2x^3 + x + 1 &= (2x + 1)(x^2 + x) + 1 \\ 1 &= (2x^3 + x + 1) + (2x+1)(-x^2 - x) \\ 1 - (2x^3 + x + 1) &= (2x + 1)(-x^2 - x) \\ 1 &\equiv_{2x^3 + x + 1} (2x+1)(-x^2 - x) \end{align*} and thus, by similar logic again found in the proof mentioned before, \([-x^2 - x] = [2x^2 + 2x]\) must be the inverse. As a sanity check, \begin{equation*} \polylongdiv[style=A]{2x^3 + x + 1}{2x^2 + 2x} \end{equation*} shows that the remainder is a unit in \(\mathds{Z}[3]\). \section{Question Five} \label{sec:orgaf8ce04} Firstly, \(\mathds{Z}_5[x]\) is a field by Theorem 2.8. \subsection{a} \label{sec:orgf579bc7} There are no roots of \(x^2 + 2x + 3\) in \(\mathds{Z}_5\), so by Theorem 5.10 it is irreducible. \(f_1 : (0, 1, 2, 3, 4) \rightarrow (3, 1, 1, 3, 2)\) \subsection{b} \label{sec:orgb0b2569} This is reducible since \(1\) is a root. \begin{equation*} \polylongdiv[style=A]{x^3 + x + 3}{x - 1} \end{equation*} Thus, \(f_2(x) = (x + 4)(x^2 + x + 2)\) \section{Question Six} \label{sec:org009bcbb} Following pages 137 - 138 of the book\ldots{} By Corollary 4.19 we know \((x^2 + 1)\) is irreducible in \(\mathds{R}[x]\) since its only roots are in \(\mathds{C}\): \(\pm i\). Because of Corollary 5.12, we know that there is an extension field \(K\) that contains a root to \((x^2 + 1)\). Namely, some \(\alpha = [x]\). By Corollary 5.5, each element can be rewritten as \([ax + b]\) with \(a, b \in \mathds{R}\). We can create a mapping \(f\) such that \([a + bx] \rightarrow [a] + [b][x] = a + b \alpha\) is unique and \(f^{-1}(a + b \alpha) \rightarrow [a + bx]\) (bijection). Additionally, we can show that \(f([a + bx]) + f([c + dx]) = (a + b \alpha) + (c + d \alpha) = (a + c) + (b + d) \alpha = f([(a + c)x + (b + d)])\). \begin{equation*} [ax + b][cx + b] = [acx^2 + abx + bcx + bd] \end{equation*} \begin{equation*} \polylongdiv[style=A]{acx^2 + abx + bcx + bd}{x^2 + 1} \end{equation*} So, multiplication in \(K\) is given: \begin{equation*} [ax + b][cx + b] = [(ab + bc)x + ac - bd] \end{equation*} Then, we can show that by definition of \(\alpha\), \(f([a + bx]) \cdot f([c + dx]) = (a + b \alpha) \cdot (c + d \alpha) = (ac + ad \alpha + bc \alpha + bd \alpha^2) = (ac - bd + (ad + bc)\alpha) = f([(ab + bc)x + ac - bd]) = f([a + bx][c + dx])\). Now, replacing our work with \(\alpha = i\), \(f\) is an isomorphism from \(\mathds{R}/(x^2 + 1)\) to \(\mathds{C}\) since it is a bijection and satisfies the addition and multiplication rules. \end{document}
