If we can use the same process as the book, then yes except it should be x^4 + 2x^2 + 25.  It is monic and has degree 4 which is the degree of it should be.

I got x^4 + 2x + 25 as the minimum polynomial... anyone agree? Am I on the right track?

If we can use the same process as the book, then yes except it should be x^4 + 2x^2 + 25. It is monic and has degree 4 which is the degree of it should be.
