Problem
Let 
, be a polynomial with 
and 
as integers.
a. If 
is a prime number such that divides and 
does not divide , show that, whatever the integer 
is, 
does not divide 
.
b. Let 
be a prime number other than 2, that divides . If divides for some integer , show that for every positive integer 
there exists an integer 
such that 
divides 
.
