The image contains two mathematical problems in Vietnamese. Here are their translations and explanations:


Problem 1.17:

Given f(x)f(x) is a polynomial of one variable.
Prove that if (x1)f(xn)(x - 1) \mid f(x^n),
then (xn1)f(xn)(x^n - 1) \mid f(x^n).

Explanation:
To prove this, you need to use the relationship between divisors and roots of polynomials. Start by noting that if (x1)f(xn)(x - 1) \mid f(x^n), it means x=1x = 1 is a root of f(xn)f(x^n). From this, deduce how the factor xn1x^n - 1 relates to f(xn)f(x^n) because xn1x^n - 1 represents all nn-th roots of unity.


Problem 1.18:

Given two polynomials f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x).
Prove that if x2+x+1(f(x3)+xg(x3))x^2 + x + 1 \mid \big( f(x^3) + xg(x^3) \big),
then x1f(x)x - 1 \mid f(x) and x1g(x)x - 1 \mid g(x).

Explanation:
This involves factoring and using properties of divisors of polynomials. The condition x2+x+1f(x3)+xg(x3)x^2 + x + 1 \mid f(x^3) + xg(x^3) implies x2+x+1x^2 + x + 1, which contains the cube roots of unity ω\omega, divides the given expression. From this, investigate the behavior of f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x) under substitution and the factorization of x31x^3 - 1 into (x1)(x2+x+1)(x - 1)(x^2 + x + 1).

  1. What is the significance of roots of unity in these problems?
  2. How can divisors of a polynomial help prove such divisibility conditions?
  3. What role does x31x^3 - 1 play in Problem 1.18?
  4. Can these ideas be extended to general cases of f(xn)f(x^n)?

Tip:

Always factorize complex polynomials into irreducible components like xn1=(x1)(xn1++x+1)x^n - 1 = (x - 1)(x^{n-1} + \ldots + x + 1) to simplify divisibility proofs.
