Multiplicative inverse of polynomial modulus an integer












0












$begingroup$


How do you calculate the multiplicative inverse of a polynomial mod a monomial/integer?The specific questions are:
Find the multiplicative inverse of
1) x+1 mod 3
2) x^2+x-1 mod 3
3) x^2+x-1 mod 32



I understand that you need to use the Extended Euclidean algorithm to solve it. For integer mod integer (e.g. 11 mod 26) and polynomial mod polynomial, its clear.But how to solve x+1 mod 3?

          Neither $x+1$ nor $x^2+x-1$ are invertible modulo $3$, i.e. in the polynomial ring $mathbf Z/3mathbf Z[x]$, which is a polynomial ring over a field, because in such a case, for any polynomials $f,g$ we have $deg fg=deg f+deg g gedeg f,deg g$, which is not compatible with $fg=1$ unless $f$ and $g$ are constants.



          If the quotient ring is not a field, this may not be true. However $x^2+x-1$ invertible in $ is impossible since its dominant coefficient is $1$, hence $deg f(x)(x^2+x-1)=deg f+2$.



          For an example with coefficients in $mathbf Z/32mathbf Z$ you can check that $;(16x^2-4x+1)(4x+1)=1$.

            do you mean that for a polynomial f to have a multiplicative inverse mod g then inlinedeg fg=deg f+deg g ≥deg f,deg g ? If that is the case then x+1 mod 3 meets the criteria because deg ((x+1)3)=1' and deg f=1` and deg g=0 . Kindly explain

            If $fg=1$, we must have $deg f+deg g=deg 1=0$, whence $deg f=deg g=0$, i. e. $f$ and $g$ must be non-zero constants.
