... by J. G. Wendel of the University of Michigan in October 1984. In all proofs, two separate parts must be distinguished. First, the quantities A and B can be shown to satisfy the same polynomial with rational coefficients, i.e., to be algebraically conjugate. This is most susceptible to proof by Litt ...

[Hint: For a proof by contradiction, we begin by assuming that the square√root of two is rational rather than irrational. Thus, there exist int ...

... We can’t let the constant term be a general integer. For example, c0 + X + 12 X 2 is reducible when c0 = −2b(b + 1). The proof of Theorem 1 will require an extension of Bertrand’s Postulate. In its original form, conjectured by Bertrand and proved by Chebyshev, the “postulate” says that for any posi ...

... All the equations (i)-(vi) involve contradictions. Of these, perhaps (ii) is the least obvious. Let us therefore examine (ii), which is true for m = 2 (even) leading to c2 = 1, cx = 2 from (ii) and (8). Now c2 = 1 = a2 - h2 implies that a2 = 2 (b2 = 1) or a2 - 1 (b2 = 0), i.e., a2 ^ 0, which contrad ...
