Let F be a field of characteristic different from 2 and let φ be an anisotropic six-dimensional quadratic form over F. We study the last open cases in the problem of describing the quadratic forms ψ such that φ becomes isotropic over the function field F ψ .

We study the parity of the number of irreducible factors of trinomials over Galois fields of characteristic 2. As a consequence, some sufficient conditions for a trinomial being reducible are obtained. For example, x n ϩ ax k ϩ b ʦ GF(2 t )[x] is reducible if both n, t are even, except possibly when

Let N be the number of affine zeros of a pair of quadratic forms in n#1 variables defined over a finite field F O . We give upper and lower bounds for N and show that these bounds are optimal. One result states that if n#1510 and every quadratic form in the pencil has order at least three, then "N!q
