1. **Rewrite the polynomial P(x):**
P(x)=3k=0∑9xk+2k=10∑1209xk+k=1210∑146409xk
This can be expressed as:
P(x)=3(1+x+x2+⋯+x9)+2(x10+x11+⋯+x1209)+(x1210+x1211+⋯+x146409)
2. **Consider the problem in Z11:**
We need to find the smallest n such that xn−1 is divisible by (x16+1)P(x) in Z11[x].
3. **Check divisibility by x−1:**
Since xn−1 must be divisible by x−1, we check if x=1 is a root of P(x) and x16+1:
P(1)=3⋅10+2⋅1200+134200=3⋅10+2⋅1200+134200=30+2400+134200=136630≡0(mod11)
x16+1=116+1=2≡0(mod11)
Thus, x16+1 is not divisible by x−1.
4. **Construct Q(x):**
Multiply x−1 by P(x) and adjust the constant term:
Q(x)=4x146410+4x1210+4x10−1
Let y=4x10. By Fermat's Little Theorem, 411≡4(mod11):
Q(y)=y14641+y121+y−1
5. **Find the smallest m such that ym−1 is divisible by Q(y):**
We need ym−1=h(y)Q(y). Using the recursion ci=ci−1+ci−121+ci−14641, we find:
ci=(d1,d2,d3d1+d2+d3)
The smallest i such that ci=1 and cj=0 for i>j>(i−14641) is i=1213−1.
6. **Convert back to x:**
y=4x10⟹x10(1213−1)−1
This polynomial is divisible by Q(x) but not by x16+1. The next polynomial is:
x20(1213−1)−1
7. Verify the exponent:
20(1213−1)=20×1771560=35431200
The final answer is 35431200
