SOLUTION:
Step 1:
In this question, we are given the following:
a) Why is x² + 36 NOT factorable?
b) In other words, why is it prime?
c) What are two details that draw you to this conclusion?
Step 2:
The details of the solution are as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} a)\text{ x}^2\text{ + 36 is not factorizable under of field of integers Z,} \\ since\text{ it cannot be expressed as product of two squares} \end{gathered}[/tex]b) In other words, why is it prime?
It is a prime polynomial because a prime polynomial is one that cannot be factored into the product of two polynomials, using integer values.

c) What are two details that draw you to this conclusion?
1) You can factor a difference of squares, but not a sum of squares.
2) A prime polynomial is one that cannot be factored into the product of two polynomials, using integer values.
