Abstract
Stickelberger–Swan Theorem is an important tool for determining parity of the number of irreducible factors of a given polynomial Based on this theorem we prove in this note that every affine polynomial Ax over mathbbF 2 with degree 1 where Ax = Lx + 1 and Lx=sum i=0nx2i is a linearized polynomial over mathbbF 2 is reducible except x 2 + x + 1 and x 4 + x + 1 We also give some explicit factors of some special affine pentanomials over mathbbF 2
