Identify $\mathbb{Z}[x]/(x^2+3, 5)$

111 Views Asked by At

I'm asked to identify $\mathbb{Z}[x]/(x^2+3, 5)$.

I think it's isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}_5[x]/(x^2+3)$, but what next, please?

Thank you.

$\mathbb{Z}[x]/(x^2+3, 5)$ $\cong$ $\mathbb{Z}_5[x]/(x^2+3)$. Now $x^2+3$ is irreducible over $\mathbb{Z}_5$ hence this will be a field of order $25$. Precisely the elements are looks like $\{ax+b+\langle x^2+3\rangle|a,b \in \mathbb{Z}_5\}$.
