irreducibility using factor function()
Consider the polynomial p=x^3-3*x+4. Use the factor() function to determine if p is irreducible over:

This looks like homework. Please always mention the own effort to make sage compute something on the way. Here, a possibility to proceed - for each field - would be to construct the corresponding field, the ring of polynomials over it, then define $p$ over this field, finally ask for the factorization. For instance:
Which is the code for the other two fields? (Of course, we can already decide...)
