    Undergrad Solving Polynomials (mod p) Problems

    for the zeros, i got: b=3, 1, 2 i got no solutions for b= 1,2 for b= 3 i got x=8 (mod 5)

    Undergrad How to Solve the Equation X^2 + 1 = 0 (mod 5^3)?

    ok, so now i know that it has 2 solutions, because x^2 + 1 == 0 (mod 5) has only two solutions, namely x= 4, x= -4. however f '(4) and f '(-4) are not congruent to 0 (mod 5). So these roots are nonsingular?

    Undergrad How to Solve the Equation X^2 + 1 = 0 (mod 5^3)?

    How would i start to solve this problem? x^2 + 1 == 0 (mod 5^3). Find all solutions. How do i know how many solutions there are? If i reduce it to x^2 + 1 == 0 (mod 5), i get that x= 2,3,7,8,12, etc.
