Problem 4. Let F₂ be the field of two elements, and let F2[x] be the ring ofpolynomials over F2. For each n = N, consider the following polynomial in F2[x]:f(x) = xon5n+x +x4n+ x³n+1.(a) For which values of n, does f(x) factor into exactly two irreducible polynomialsin F2[x]?(b) For which values of n, does f(x) factor into exactly three irreducible polynomialsin F₂[x]?
