F= x^3 + 2x + 1 irreducable in Z5 (Z subscript 5)

i have tried EC looking at F(x+1) which doesn't work for me. Cant think of what else to try.

Help much appreciated. Need to know this for an exam later! ahhh

irreducibility of a cubic over a small finite field is trivial because it suffices to show there are no roots.
 
Ok so the only possible roots are 1 2 3 4 or 5 is this correct? Thanks so much for your reply! i have an exam is a few hours with this on it!

Edit: or is +-1 the only possible roots? Thanks again
 

Thread 'The colorful world of ##2\times 2## complex matrices'

The world of 2\times 2 complex matrices is very colorful. They form a Banach-algebra, they act on spinors, they contain the quaternions, SU(2), su(2), SL(2,\mathbb C), sl(2,\mathbb C). Furthermore, with the determinant as Euclidean or pseudo-Euclidean norm, isu(2) is a 3-dimensional Euclidean space, \mathbb RI\oplus isu(2) is a Minkowski space with signature (1,3), i\mathbb RI\oplus su(2) is a Minkowski space with signature (3,1), SU(2) is the double cover of SO(3), sl(2,\mathbb C) is the...
