In the context of a polynomial ring over a field modulo a polynomial, the prime ideals of the resulting quotient ring correspond to the ideals generated by the irreducible factors of the modulus polynomial. Specifically, the prime ideals of $\mathbb{Z}_3[x]/\langle \bar{f} \rangle$ are generated by the irreducible factors of $\bar{f}$.

Conditions: The base ring is a polynomial ring over a field.; The modulus polynomial is factored into irreducibles.

A quadratic polynomial over a field is irreducible if and only if it has no roots in that field. You can check this by evaluating the polynomial at all elements of the field.

Conditions: The polynomial is of degree 2.; The coefficients are in a field.
