$X^2$ irreducible but not prime
$begingroup$
Let $K$ be a field. I'd like to show that in $R={sum a_i X^iin K[X]mid a_1=0}$, the element $X^2$ is irreducible, but not prime.
Irreducibility is checked easily, but I can't see why it's not prime.
$X^2$ divides every polynomial with constant term $= 0$, but none of the nonzero ones. Thus, I have to multiply 2 polynomials with constant nonzero terms, but then the resulting polynomial also has constant term which isn't zero, so $X^2$ doesn't divide it?

"$X^2$ divides every polynomial with constant term $= 0$" -- this is not true, $X^2$ does not divide $X^3$ (in $R$).
