I would like to have verification if the following attached proof is correct. If it is not correct, what can be done to make it correct? Thanks.

  • Typed proof: a problem asking to show f(x) is irreducible in F[x] given f(x+c) is irreducible, followed by a red proof by contradiction assuming f(x) = g(x)h(x) with nonconstant g and h.

Hi Alexis87,

It looks all correct to me.
For clarity I would just add a final sentence saying that therefore f(x+c) is reducible, which is a contradiction.
