Example in Abstract Algebra


1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

I'm trying to come up with an example of a quartic polynomial over a field F which has a root in F, but whose splitting field isn't the same as its resolvent cubic.

2. Relevant equations



3. The attempt at a solution

Well, I know the splitting field of the cubic resolvent is contained in the splitting field of the quartic, so that narrows down the choices quite a bit. But frankly I'm not even sure this is possible because the cubic resolvent is pretty much defined in terms of the roots of the quartic.
