Before posting any answers to my question; just a little note that, I only know the name of this such thing but have no clue what it is, i.e. the Galois Field of order 4.
Also, I have looked at the other posts that might explain it but it doesn't really clear it up for me, because how I go about these things is by showing that it fails one of the axioms of a field by the use of corollaries and theorems.
Suppose that we have a finite-field F={0,1,a,b}.
Question: How does 1+1=0?
I tried to think through in my head the other options and show that it can't be those other options, i.e. 1+1≠1 was the easy one.
1+1=1⟹1=0 but 1≠0 thus a contradiction.
I'm not sure how to go about how to show that 1+1≠x?
Thanks.
