1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
L is the splitting field generated by x^2+x+1 (over \mathbb{Q})
a) Is \sqrt{-3} an element of L?
b) Is sqrt(-3) an element of \mathbb{Q}(a), where a is a complex root of x^3+x+1?
2. Relevant equations
3. The attempt at a solution
Really no idea.
