2017-10-10 01:26:49 +0200 | asked a question | Another way to determine if a polynomial is irreducible over a ring, is to check if the zeros of the polynomial are in the ring, ie, does p have a linear factor. Another way to determine if a polynomial is irreducible over a ring, is to check if the zeros of the polynomial are in the ring, ie, does p have a linear factor. For Z_5, write a "for" loop to check if p evaluated at every element of Z_5 is zero. |
