Problem

Build and analyze a quotient ring as follows: (a) Use P.<z>=Integers(7)[] to construct a ring PP of polynomials in zz with coefficients from Z7\mathbb{Z}_7. (b) Use \texttt{K = P.ideal(z\^2+z+3)} to build a principal ideal KK generated by the polynomial z2+z+3z^2 + z + 3. (c) Use H = P.quotient(K) to build HH, the quotient ring of PP by KK. (d) Use Sage to verify that HH is a field. (e) As in the previous exercise, obtain a generator and examine the proper collection of powers of that generator.
