Conditions
- The ring R is .
- The ideals contain .
- The generators correspond to the irreducible factors of in .
Reasoning, step by step
- Identify the irreducible factors of over : , , and .
- Lift these factors back to the original ring R by pairing each with the generator 3.
- State the ideals as , , and .
Example
The narrator states, 'p one equals (3, x minus 1) R', 'p two equals (3, x plus 1) R', and 'p three equals (3, x squared plus 2x plus 2) R'.
Common misconceptions
- Assuming the ideals are generated only by the polynomial factors without including 3.
- Confusing the factors in with their lifts in without adjusting the generators.
