State Gauss's Lemma. State Eisenstein's irreducibility criterion.

(i) By considering a suitable substitution, show that the polynomial 1+X3+X61+X^{3}+X^{6} is irreducible over Q\mathbb{Q}.

(ii) By working in Z2[X]\mathbb{Z}_{2}[X], show that the polynomial 1X2+X51-X^{2}+X^{5} is irreducible over Q\mathbb{Q}.
