I'm looking for the answer to #10. Please include rationale for the solution. Thanks!

8. Let F = Z, and let f(x) = x³ + x + 1 E F[x]. Suppose that a is a
zero of f(x) in some extension of F. How many elements does F(a)
have? Express each member of F(a) in terms of a. Write out a com-
plete multiplication table for F(a).
