In one of my proof for my assignment I reached a point where I have to prove that $x^9-t^9$ is irreducible in $\mathbb{Z}_7(t^9)[x]$. I am unsure weather this is irreducible. If it is, how do I prove it? Thanks in advance.

    What is $\mathbb{Z}_7(t^9)$? Is it the field of fractions of $\mathbb{Z}_7[t^9]$2012-10-21

    @Rankeya: There is no prime element in $Z_7(t^9)$.2012-10-21

    @AleksVlasev Yes that is the field of fractions.2012-10-21

    Agreed, but there is a prime element in $\mathbb{Z}_7[t^9]$, which is a ring, not a field.2012-10-21
