Hello all, first time to the site and its very helpful! I wish I would have found it sooner.
I am stuck on quotient rings. Here is my question..

How do I find elements of a quotient ring?

It asks me to list all elements of a quotient ring.

Anybody have any ideas how i can find them? :confused:

You'll have to state the question.
And by the way, I think these questions (that is, HW questions) should be asked several forums above.

In your quotient ring, all the elements look like p(x)+I. Now you know for a given element in the quotient ring, you can take many different p(x)'s as it's representative. Try to take the one with the smallest degree.
