- If is a finite field with elements, and is a polynomial of positive degree over , find a formula for the number of elements in the ring .arrow_forwardSuppose that f(x),g(x), and h(x) are polynomials over the field F, each of which has positive degree, and that f(x)=g(x)h(x). Prove that the zeros of f(x) in F consist of the zeros of g(x) in F together with the zeros of h(x) in F.arrow_forwardLet be a field. Prove that if is a zero of then is a zero ofarrow_forward
- Use Theorem to show that each of the following polynomials is irreducible over the field of rational numbers. Theorem Irreducibility of in Suppose is a polynomial of positive degree with integral coefficients and is a prime integer that does not divide. Let Where for If is irreducible in then is irreducible in .arrow_forwardLabel each of the following statements as either true or false. Every f(x) in F(x), where F is a field, can be factored.arrow_forwardProve that if R is a field, then R has no nontrivial ideals.arrow_forward
- Let F be a field and f(x)=a0+a1x+...+anxnF[x]. Prove that x1 is a factor of f(x) if and only if a0+a1+...+an=0. Prove that x+1 is a factor of f(x) if and only if a0+a1+...+(1)nan=0.arrow_forwardSince this section presents a method for constructing a field of quotients for an arbitrary integral domain D, we might ask what happens if D is already a field. As an example, consider the situation when D=5. a. With D=5, write out all the elements of S, sort these elements according to the relation , and then list all the distinct elements of Q. b. Exhibit an isomorphism from D to Q.arrow_forward
