3) Show that the irreducible polynomials in R[T] are the following: (a) Linear polynomials, i.e. polynomials of degree 1; and (b) Quadratic polynomials, i.e. polynomials of degree 2, which do not have a real root. If g(T) is such a polynomial then g(T) = a · (T – z) · (T – z) = a · (T² + (z + z) · T + z• z), where z is a complex root of g(T), and a e R \ {0}.

3) Show that the irreducible polynomials in R[T] are the following:
(a) Linear polynomials, i.e. polynomials of degree 1; and
(b) Quadratic polynomials, i.e. polynomials of degree 2, which do not have
a real root. If g(T) is such a polynomial then
g(T) = a · (T – 2) · (T – z) = a · (T² + (z + z) · T + z · z),
where z is a complex root of g(T), and a E R \ {0}.
