Then, \(x^2 + 1 = (ax + b)(cx + d)\). Thus, \(ax \cdot cx = x^2 \Rightarrow ac = 1\), \(axd + bcx = 0 \Rightarrow ad + bc = 0\), and \(bd = 1\) with \(a,b,c,d\) all being nonzero. Then, \(a = \frac{1}{c}\) and \(d = \frac{1}{b}\), so \(ad = -bc \Rightarrow \frac{1}{cb} = - bc\), which is impossible. \subsection{Question Nine} \label{sec:orge1fd195} \subsubsection{a} \label{sec:org33e3a63} \(x^2 + x + 1\) \subsubsection{b} \label{sec:orgf9e0897} \(x^3 + x^2 + 1\) and \(x^3 + x + 1\) \subsection{Question Ten} \label{sec:org4da4dbc} \subsubsection{a} \label{sec:orgc043f8c} In \(\mathds{Q}[x]\), no. In \(\mathds{R}[x]\), yes: \(x^2 - 3 = (x - \sqrt{3})(x + \sqrt{3})\). \subsubsection{b} \label{sec:org68f2a14} Yes, in both fields: \(x^2 + x - 2 = (x + 2)(x - 1)\) \subsection{Question Eleven} \label{sec:org957dc65} Assume that \(x^3 - 3\) were reducible in \(\mathds{Z}_7 [x]\). Then, there must be a monic factor of degree one, as \(x^3 - 3 = g(x)h(x) \Rightarrow deg(x^3 - 3) = deg(g(x)h(x)) \Rightarrow 3 = deg(g(x)) + deg(h(x))\) by Theorem 4.2, and either \(deg(g(x))\) or \(deg(h(x))\) must be one, with the other, two. So, one of the factors must be of the form \(x + a, a \in \mathds{Z}_7\). None such factor exists since polynomial division always returns a non-zero remainder: \(x \nmid x^3 - 3\), trivially. \(\frac{x^3 - 3}{x + 1}\) gives a remainder of \(4\). \(\frac{x^3 - 3}{x + 2}\) gives a remainder of \(-11 \equiv_7 3\). \(\frac{x^3 - 3}{x + 3}\) gives a remainder of \(-30 \equiv_7 5\). \(\frac{x^3 - 3}{x + 4}\) gives a remainder of \(-67 \equiv_7 3\). \(\frac{x^3 - 3}{x + 5}\) gives a remainder of \(-128 \equiv_7 5\). \(\frac{x^3 - 3}{x + 6}\) gives a remainder of \(-219 \equiv_7 5\). \subsection{Question Twelve} \label{sec:orge9f1b7e} In \(\mathds{Q}[x]\), \(x^4 - 4 = (x^2 - 2)(x^2 + 2)\) In \(\mathds{R}[x]\), \(x^4 - 4 = (x - \sqrt{2})(x + \sqrt{2})(x^2 + 2)\) In \(\mathds{C}[x]\), \(x^4 - 4 = (x - \sqrt{2})(x + \sqrt{2})(x - i \sqrt{2})(x + i \sqrt{2})\) \subsection{Question Fourteen} \label{sec:orge490368} \(x^2 + x \equiv_6 (x + 4)(x + 3)\) \(x^2 + x \equiv_6 x(x + 1)\) \section{Section 4.4} \label{sec:orgced6b81} \subsection{Question Two} \label{sec:org80309c5} \subsubsection{c} \label{sec:org684714e} By Theorem 4.15, the remainder is \(f(-1) = 5\) \subsection{Question Three} \label{sec:org4950bb3} \subsubsection{c} \label{sec:org38b222f} If the remainder of \(\frac{f(x)}{h(x)}\) is 0, then \(h\) is a factor of \(f\), so using Theorem 4.15 we can find that \(f(-2) = -55 \equiv_5 0\), so \(h\) is indeed a factor. \subsection{Question Four} \label{sec:org5aa1b14} \subsubsection{b} \label{sec:orge7c045e} We need to find k such that \(f(-1) = 0 (mod 5)\) \begin{verbatim} >>> f = lambda k,x: (x**4 + 2 * x**3 - 3 * x**2 + k * x + 1) % 5 >>> for i in range(5): ... if f(i, -1) == 0: ... print(i) ... 2 \end{verbatim} \(k=2\) works nicely! \subsection{Question Seven} \label{sec:orgecff464} \begin{verbatim} >>> set(filter(lambda x: (x**7 - x) % 7 == 0, range(7))) {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} \end{verbatim} Shows that each element is a root, so the factoring is correct by the Factor Theorem. \subsection{Question Eight} \label{sec:orge5e9620} \subsubsection{b} \label{sec:org65737b6} The polynomial is irreducible since its only roots are \(\pm \sqrt{7} \notin \mathds{Q}\), by Corollary 4.19 \subsubsection{d} \label{sec:orga790f86} \begin{verbatim} >>> set(filter(lambda x: (2 * x**3 + x**2 + 2 * x + 2) % 5 == 0, range(5))) set() \end{verbatim} It's irreducible since there are no roots in \(\mathds{Z}_5\). \subsection{Question Nine} \label{sec:org2cf5693} \begin{verbatim} >>> def find_irr_mon_polys(deg, mod): ... z_s = range(mod) ... polys = set() ... for b in z_s: ... for c z_s: ... f_repr = f"x^2 + {b}x + {c}" ... f = lambda x: (x**2 + b*x + c) % mod ... if not any(map(lambda x: f(x) == 0, z_s)): ... polys.add(f_repr) ... return polys >>> find_irr_mon_polys(2, 5) \end{verbatim} \{ \(x^2 + 0x + 2, x^2 + 0x + 3, x^2 + 1x + 1, x^2 + 1x + 2, x^2 + 2x + 3, x^2 + 2x + 4, x^2 + 3x + 3, x^2 + 3x + 4, x^2 + 4x + 1, x^2 + 4x + 2\) \} \begin{verbatim} >>> find_irr_mon_polys(2, 3) \end{verbatim} \{ \(x^2 + 0x + 1, x^2 + 1x + 2, x^2 + 2x + 2\) \} \subsection{Question Thirteen} \label{sec:org4f87227} \subsubsection{a} \label{sec:org32ba550} If \(f(x) = cg(x)\) with \(c \neq 0_F\), then \(g(x) = c^{-1}f(x)\) and \(f(x) = c^{-1}g(x)\). Then, \(g(y) = 0_F \Leftrightarrow f(y) = 0_F\). \subsubsection{b} \label{sec:org84283d0} No, consider \(f(x) = x\) and \(g(x) = x^2\) in \(\mathds{Z}\), then \(f\) and \(g\) share \(0\) as their only root, but they are not associates. \end{document}
