TL;DR Summary
F2 = (0, 1)

the textbook's solution is

I didn't follow their method and have found another degree 5 solution, ##X^5+X^4+X^2+X+1##.
Is it wrong or the book has omitted this solution?

It is irreducible. I guess they missed it.

As well as
##X^5+X^4+X^3+X+1##
##X^5+X^3+X^2+X+1##
##X^5+X^4+X^3+X^2+1##
