This question originates from Pinter's Abstract Algebra, Chapter 24 Exercise C7.
Give all the ways of factoring $x^2$ into polynomials of degree 1 in $\mathbb{Z}_9[x]$; in $\mathbb{Z}_5[x]$.
Attempt:
In $\mathbb{Z}_9[x]$, there are 2 ways:
$x^2\,\equiv (x)(x) \equiv(x+3)(x+6).$
In $\mathbb{Z}_5[x]$, there is only 1 way:
$x^2\, \equiv (x)(x)$.
Correct?
