Question regarding algebraic closure of$ mathbb{F_2}$












0












$begingroup$



Let $mathbb{F_2} $ be the finite field of order $2$. Then
which of the following statements are true?



$1.$ $mathbb{F_2} [x]$ has only finitely many irreducible
elements.



$2.$ $mathbb{F_2} [x]$ has exactly one irreducible polynomial
of degree $2.$



$3.$$mathbb{F_2} [x]/<x^2+1>$
is a finite dimensional
vector space over .



$4.$ Any irreducible polynomial in $mathbb{F_2} [x]$ of
degree $5$ has distinct roots in any algebraic
closure of $mathbb{F_2}$




My attempt:




  • option 1) will True take $f(x) = x^2+x+1$


  • option $2)$ will false because number irreducible polynomail of degree $2 = frac{p^2-p}{p-1} = 2$


  • option $3)$ will true dimension will be $4$


  • option $4$ i don't have any hints to tackle this option



any hints/solution will be appreciated



thanks u

    Can you show that $mathbb F_{2^n}$ is a simple extension of $mathbb F_{2}$ for each $n$? Then, the minimal polynomial of the generator must be irreducible and of order $n$, so we have, for each natural number, an irreducible polynomial over $mathbb F_2$ of that degree. Hence, we get infinitely many irreducible polynomials over $mathbb F_2$.

$begingroup$

$mathbb{F}_2[x]$ has an irreducible element of degree $n$ for every $n$, so certainly infinitely many.



But it only has one of degree $2$: there are only $4$ candidates to check and only $x^2 +x +1$ is irreducible.



$mathbb{F}_2[x]/(x^2+1)$ is essentially the set of linear polynomials (we identify $x^2$ with $1$), which is a vector space of dimension $2$ over $mathbb{F}_2$.



For 4. yes, see this question and answer

Quarter-circle Tiles

Image
up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form? I think this problem has to do with finding the chance any given 2x2 square has a circle, but I can't find it. expected-value share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 20 at 15:03 6minecraftninja 1 2

build a pushdown automaton that recognizes the reverse language of a given pushdown automaton?

Image
0 I think it's similiar to NFAs. I replace the finite states of the given automaton for start-states for my new automaton. I do it with $epsilon$ -transition from the start state to the actual finite states of the given automaton. The start state of the given automaton will be my accepting(finite) state of my new one. All transitions will be reversed of course to recognize the reversed word. But how do I have to change the stack of the pushdown automaton?
