Hi everyone, don't understand the solution.

  1. How do they deduce that f,g ∈Z[X]? I mean f is monic, then g must also be monic so the content is automatically 1.
  2. Don't see why g(x) and f(x) have the same root in overline F_p. Btw not sure why overline F_p actually is. Maybe we've p| g(ς_m),f(ς_m). Therefore they've the same root mod p which occurs twice.

Oh man I've lots problems with this. Hope so. can help me.
