Let $F$ be a field such that $p(x):=x^2+x+1 \neq 0$ for all $x \in F$.
Let $G = F \times F$, with elements written $(a,b) =a+jb, a,b \in F$ for a formal symbol $j$.
Define addition componentwise to be:
$(a+jb)+(c+jd)=(a+c)+j(b+d)$,
and define multiplication by the rule $j^2+j+1=0$:
$(a+jb)(c+jd)=(ac−bd)+j(ad+bc−bd)$
Question: How can I show the existence of the multiplicative inverse portion for this field $G$?
Thanks in advance.
Hint
$$j(-j-1)=1 \\ (aj+b)(a(-1-j)+b)=a^2-ab+b^2$$
Hint 2
If $b \neq 0$ and $a^2-ab+b^2=0$ then $-ab^{-1}$ is a root of $x^2+x+1$.
Use this idea to prove that $$a^2-ab+b^2=0 \Rightarrow a=0,b=0$$
