Activity 14.4. Factor f(x) = 24 – 1 in C[x] into a product of irreducible polynomials...
Preview Activity 14.1. In previous investigations, we defined irreducible polynomials and showed that irreducible polynomials in polynomial rings over fields play the same role as primes play in Z. In this investigation we will explore some methods to determine when a polynomial is irreducible, with a special emphasis on polynomials with coefficients in C, R, and Q. To begin, we will review the definition and a simple case. Let F be a field. (a) Give a formal definition of what...
Theorem 14.7. If f(x) € R[x] is an irreducible polynomial, then deg(f(x)) is either 1 or 2. We can determine which quadratic polynomials in R[x] are irreducible by using the quadratic formula and checking for real roots. Activity 14.8. Factor f(x) = 2 – 4.x in R[2] into a product of irreducible polynomials in R[2].

Polynomial over the Fields: a) If p(x) an element of F[x] is not irreducible, then there are at least two polynomials g(x) and h(x), neither which is a constant, such that p(x)=g(x)h(x). Explain b) Use problem a to prove: If p(x) is not irreducible, then p(x)=j(x)k(x), where both j(x) and k(x) are polynomials of lower degree than p(x).
Let k be a field of positive characteristic p, and let f(x)be an irreducible polynomial. Prove that there exist an integer d and a separable irreducible polynomial fsep (2) such that f(0) = fsep (2P). The number p is called the inseparable degree of f(c). If f(1) is the minimal polynomial of an algebraic element a, the inseparable degree of a is defined to be the inseparable degree of f(1). Prove that a is inseparable if and only if its...

A polynomial p(x) is an expression in variable x which is in the form axn + bxn-1 + …. + jx + k, where a, b, …, j, k are real numbers, and n is a non-negative integer. n is called the degree of polynomial. Every term in a polynomial consists of a coefficient and an exponent. For example, for the first term axn, a is the coefficient and n is the exponent. This assignment is about representing and computing...
