Let [Formula: see text] be an algebraic number field with [Formula: see text] in the ring [Formula: see text] of algebraic integers of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] be the minimal polynomial of [Formula: see text] over the field [Formula: see text] of rational numbers. In 1977, Uchida proved that [Formula: see text] if and only if [Formula: see text] does not belong to [Formula: see text] for any maximal ideal [Formula: see text] of the polynomial ring [Formula: see text] (see [Osaka J. Math. 14 (1977) 155–157]). In this paper, we apply the above result to obtain some necessary and sufficient conditions involving the coefficients of [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text] to equal [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text] is a trinomial of the type [Formula: see text]. In the particular case when [Formula: see text], it is deduced that [Formula: see text] is an integral basis of [Formula: see text] if and only if either (i) [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] or (ii) [Formula: see text] divides [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text].
