Hi, I'm trying to show whether the polynomial
g(x) = x^8+ x^7 + x^6 + x^5 + x^4 + x^3 + x^2 + x + 1
is irreducible or not.
So far I have evaluated g(x+1) and applied Eisenstein's theorem to it. From what I gather it doesn't appear to be irreducible. Is this right, because I reckon it should be irreducible? This may just be a simple calculation error.
And if g(x) is reducible, how do I go about reducing the polynomial more?
Thanks
