prove that $2+8{\sqrt{-5}}$ is unit and irreducible or not in $\mathbb Z+\mathbb Z{\sqrt{-5}}$.
Last edited by a moderator:
The discussion centers on whether the element $2 + 8\sqrt{-5}$ is a unit or irreducible in the ring $\mathbb{Z} + \mathbb{Z}\sqrt{-5}$. Participants explore definitions and properties related to units and irreducibility within this mathematical structure.
Participants express differing views on the definitions of units and irreducibility, with some definitions being contested. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the status of $2 + 8\sqrt{-5}$ as a unit or irreducible.
Participants have not reached a consensus on the definitions or the implications of the properties being discussed. There are also indications of missing assumptions or steps in the reasoning process that have not been fully articulated.

Klaas van Aarsen said:Hint: we can write $2+8{\sqrt{-5}}=2(1+4\sqrt{-5})$.

abs said:an element alpha belong to k ia called a unit if alpha divisible by 1.
abs said:dear it is my question if u not solved it then no problem its ok .if u solved it then give me complete explanation thank u so much
abs said:irreducible element:a non zero non unit element alpha belong to k is said to be irreducible if aplha=ab.
either a is unit or b is unit.
