Problem 50

Problem 94

Show f(x) = x4 + 5x2 + 3x + 2 is irreducible over the field of rational numbers.

Problem 101

(a) Show that x4 + x3 + x2 + x + 1 is irreducible in $ \mathbb{Z}_3[x] $.

(b) Show that x4 + 1 is not irreducible in $ \mathbb{Z}_3[x] $

Problem 107

Let R be a commutative ring with identity such that the identity map is the only ring automorphism of R. Prove that the set N of all nilpotent elements of R is an ideal of R

Problem 114
