Again: please do not use lower and upper case interchangeably. Pick
one, and stick to it. Most mathematicians would consider "x" to be
something very different from "X".

It includes those, and many others. It also includes X^4-1 (which is
(1+X^2)(1-X^2)); it includes X^3 + X^2 + X + 1 (which is
(1+X^2)(1+X)), etc.
