1. Proof:
Suppose f(x), g(x) is in F[x] and f(x)g(x) belongs to (p(x)). This means that p(x) divides f(x)g(x). But we know p(x) is irreducible, then p(x) divides f(x) or p(x) divides g(x). If p(x) divides f(x), then f(x) belongs to (p(x)); if p(x) divides g(x), then g(x) belongs to (p(x)). Therefore, (p(x)) is a prime ideal over ...
