Homework Statement
prove that x^(6) - x^(2) +2 =0 has no constructible roots
Homework Equations
see above
The Attempt at a Solution
I have to divide the equation by x^(3) which would give me x^(3) - x^(-1) + 2x^(-2)= 0
I can't find a suitable substitution in terms of x which would change this into a proper cubic equation and see if it has rational roots.
