![we want a prime p such that 1) p∣35, p∣28, p∣14, p∣7 2) p∤5 3) p^2 ∤7 ∴p=7 works⇒f(x) is irreductible in Q[x]](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q179904.png)
$$\mathrm{we}\:\mathrm{want}\:\mathrm{a}\:\mathrm{prime}\:\mathrm{p}\:\mathrm{such}\:\mathrm{that} \\ $$$$\left.\mathrm{1}\right)\:\mathrm{p}\mid\mathrm{35},\:\mathrm{p}\mid\mathrm{28},\:\mathrm{p}\mid\mathrm{14},\:\mathrm{p}\mid\mathrm{7} \\ $$$$\left.\mathrm{2}\right)\:\mathrm{p}\nmid\mathrm{5} \\ $$$$\left.\mathrm{3}\right)\:\mathrm{p}^{\mathrm{2}} \nmid\mathrm{7} \\ $$$$\therefore\mathrm{p}=\mathrm{7}\:\mathrm{works}\Rightarrow\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{x}\right)\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{irreductible}\:\mathrm{in}\:\mathrm{Q}\left[\mathrm{x}\right] \\ $$
