Let K be a field. Observe that the polynomials in K[x] that are not zero and not units are precisely the polynomials of positive degree.

Expert Solution

The question says that only units in polynomial ring K[x] are units in K. Since only polynomials of 0 degree are units in K[x].

Let F be a field. (a) Prove that the polynomials a(x, y) = x^2 − y^2, b(x, y) = 2xy and c(x, y) = x^2 + y^2 in F[x, y] form a Pythagorean triple. That is, a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Use this fact to explain how to generate right triangles with integer side lengths. (b) Prove that the polynomials a(x,y) = x^2 − y^2, b(x,y) = 2xy − y^2 and c(x,y) = x^2 − xy + y2 in F[x,y]...

In this exercise, we will prove the Division Algorithm for polynomials. Let R[x] be the ring of polynomials with real coefficients. For the purposes of this exercise, extend the definition of degree by deg(0) = −1. The statement to be proved is: Let f(x),g(x) ∈ R[x][x] be polynomials with g(x) ? 0. Then there exist unique polynomials q(x) and r(x) such that f (x) = g(x)q(x) + r(x) and deg(r(x)) < deg(g(x)). Fix general f (x) and g(x). (a) Let...
