Homework Statement


Hi guys,

I'm trying to show that \mathbb{F}_5[x]/(x^2+2) and \mathbb{F}_5[x]/(x^2+3) are isomorphic as rings.

The Attempt at a Solution



As I understand it, I have to find the homomorphism \phi:R\to S which is linear and that \phi(1)=1.

I'm just struggling to find what I need to send x to in order to get this work.

Actually, I think x --> 2x might do it, because

x^2 + 2 \equiv 0
(2x)^2 + 2 \equiv 0
4x^2 + 2 \equiv 0
4(x^2 + 3) \equiv 0
x^2 + 3 \equiv 0

Is that all that's required?
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
