Spring 2019 Instructor: Jay Taylor

Homework 10

Problems to be graded
Question 1
Show that Z[ω] is a Euclidean domain where ω = e2πi/3 ∈ C.

Question 2
Show that if p > 0 is a prime integer with p ≡ 2 (mod 3) then p is reducible in Z[ω]
where ω = e2πi/3 ∈ C.

Question 3
√ √ √
Prove that Q( 2, 3 2) = Q( 6 2)

Question 4 p √
Find the minimal polynomial p ∈ Q[X] of 1 + 5 ∈ R over Q. What’s the degree
p √ p √
[Q( 1 + 5) : Q]? [Hint: Assume X = 1 + 5 and work backwards. For the irre-
ducibility, work mod p.]
