(a) Let m2m \geqslant 2 be an integer such that p=4m1p=4 m-1 is prime. Suppose that the ideal class group of L=Q(p)L=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-p}) is trivial. Show that if n0n \geqslant 0 is an integer and n2+n+m<m2n^{2}+n+m<m^{2}, then n2+n+mn^{2}+n+m is prime.

(b) Show that the ideal class group of Q(163)\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-163}) is trivial.
