Potential error in HW3 (Problem 4.2)

Hello, I noticed in Problem 4.2 that we are supposed to determine if the polynomial X^2 + X^2 + 1 is irreducible in (Z/2Z)[X]. Isn't X^2 + X^2 = 2X^2 = 0? Is the question supposed to look like this?

Yes you are right
it should be x^4+x^2+1.

I am going to fix this
Thanks
