Show that in the domain of integers of the form a+bsqrt(-17) the factorization 169=13*13=(4+3sqrt(-17))(4-3sqrt(-17)) demonstrates that unique factorization into primes fails in that domain
Expert Solution
Step 1
The objective is to show that 13 is irreducible.
The norm of 13 is
So if 13 is reducible then its factors have norms dividing 169.
If one factor has norm of 1 then it is a unit so not a true factorization.
Thus both factors have norm of 13.
