Question

a. Show that there exists an irreducible polynomial of degree 3 in ℤ3[x] .

b. Show from part (a) that there exists a finite field of 27 elements. 

Expert Solution
Step 1

RESULT:   Let be a field and f(x)F[x] be a polynomial of degree 2 or 3 then f(x) is reducible over F if and only if                       f(x) has a 'zero' in F.

RESULT:   Let 'p' be a prime  and f(x)p[x] be an irreducible polynomial of degree 'n' then p[x]<f(x)> is a field of                      order (pn
