normal extension - an algebraic field extension L/K is said to be normal if L is the splitting field of a family of polynomials in K[X]. (wikipedia)

I have a question about the 'family of polynomials'
it says the family should be arbitarary large?
if E be an algebraic closure of Q(rational number).
is E a normal extension of Q?

What is the splitting field of all polynomials with coefficients in Q? If you can show that this is E, then you have shown that E/Q is a normal extension.
 
Yes, I got it.
You mean arbitrary large family is admittable.

Thanks a lot !

Yes the family can be arbitrarily large.
 
Thread 'Determine whether ##125## is a unit in ##\mathbb{Z_471}##'
This is the question, I understand the concept, in ##\mathbb{Z_n}## an element is a is a unit if and only if gcd( a,n) =1. My understanding of backwards substitution, ... i have using Euclidean algorithm, ##471 = 3⋅121 + 108## ##121 = 1⋅108 + 13## ##108 =8⋅13+4## ##13=3⋅4+1## ##4=4⋅1+0## using back-substitution, ##1=13-3⋅4## ##=(121-1⋅108)-3(108-8⋅13)## ... ##= 121-(471-3⋅121)-3⋅471+9⋅121+24⋅121-24(471-3⋅121## ##=121-471+3⋅121-3⋅471+9⋅121+24⋅121-24⋅471+72⋅121##...
