When factoring integer polynomials, it often helps to be able to tell if a polynomial is
irreducible before trying (and failing) to find its factors. We examine one such
irreducibility test presented by A. Bevelacqua and extend its applicability via shifts,
or translations, of the polynomial. On the way there, we also encounter fixed divisors,
Bunyakovsky’s conjecture, and a bound on the size of the complex roots of the
polynomial.
