An exercise asks me to write an example of such polynomials, if they exist:
- an irreducible polynomial of degree 5 in $\mathbb{R}[x]$.
- a polynomial of degree 5 in $\mathbb{R}[x]$ that has no roots
- a polynomial of degree 5 such that it is a product of five irreducible polynomials in $\mathbb{R}[x]$ and such that it has exactly one root in $\mathbb{R}$
My hypothetical answers:
- It does not exist because a polynomial in $\mathbb{R}[x]$ is irreducible if and only if degree is 1 - OR - degree is 2 and discriminant is $< 0$
- It does not exists because a polynomial of degree 5 can be divided in three polynomial of degree 2, 2, 1 where the one with degree 1 has always a root.
- I don't really know.
Are my answers correct? If not, could you please correct them? Thank you.
