How can I find the inverse of a polynomial in a quotient ring?












4












$begingroup$



I am asked to find the inverse of $widehat {x^3+1} $ in $mathbb Q[x]/I$ where $I =(x^2-2)$.




I am used to find the inverse by keep doing the division until a find a irreducible elements but the degree of the polynomial i asked to find the inverse is larger than the degree of polynomial in I.



In previous question, we have calculated the inverse of $widehat{X} $ which is $(1/2)widehat X$. And i am trying to breaking down $X^3 - 1 $ into $X(X^2-2)+(2X+1)$. Is this bit some hints to approach this question or is it a new idea to find the inverse with a polynomial of a larger degree?



Thanks a lot!!

    This is more or less the same as computing $1/((sqrt2)^3+1)$ in surds.

    Your calculation (breaking down $x^3+1$) shows that $widehat{x^3+1}=widehat{2x+1}$. Go from there.

    $begingroup$

    Applying the generalized Euclidean algorithm to $x^3+1$ and to $x^2-2$, you get that$$-frac74=left(frac{x^2}2-frac x4+1right)(x^2-2)-left(frac x2-frac14right)(x^3+1).$$Therefore,$$left(-frac{2x^2}7+frac x7-frac47right)(x^2-2)+left(frac{2x}7-frac17right)(x^3+1)=1$$and so the inverse of $x^3+1$ in $mathbb{Q}[x]/langle x^2-2rangle$ is $dfrac{2x}7-dfrac17$.

                If one insists on using the longer way of the extended Euclidean algorithm, then it is much clearer & simpler to use it in the augmented matrix form.

                @BillDubuque I am very fond of continued fractions, and was delighted to learn Bezout for (rational) polynomials could also be done that way. Matter of taste, I guess, or of effort invested.

              Applying the generalized Euclidean algorithm to $x^3+1$ and to $x^2-2$, you get that$$-frac74=left(frac{x^2}2-frac x4+1right)(x^2-2)-left(frac x2-frac14right)(x^3+1).$$Therefore,$$left(-frac{2x^2}7+frac x7-frac47right)(x^2-2)+left(frac{2x}7-frac17right)(x^3+1)=1$$and so the inverse of $x^3+1$ in $mathbb{Q}[x]/langle x^2-2rangle$ is $dfrac{2x}7-dfrac17$.
