May 17, 2012 at 2:27 comment added Lubin Although I always prefer Newton poly., factorization follows also from Hensel’s Lemma, with the one polynomial in char. $p$ being $1+x$ and the other being $1$. HL guarantees a factor of degree $1$.
May 16, 2012 at 21:45 comment added Maurizio Monge Another way to see immediately that the equation has a solution is via Newton's polygon: it is formed by two sides with slopes 0 and 1, and each corresponds to a non-trivial factor, having degree 1.
