Let K=Q(α)K=\mathbb{Q}(\alpha) where α\alpha is a root of X2X+12=0X^{2}-X+12=0. Factor the elements 2,3 , α\alpha and α+2\alpha+2 as products of prime ideals in OK\mathcal{O}_{K}. Hence compute the class group of KK.

Show that the equation y2+y=3(x54)y^{2}+y=3\left(x^{5}-4\right) has no integer solutions.
