1.Let F=K(u) where u is transcedental over the field K. If E is a field such that K contained in E contained in F, then Show that u is algebraic over E.
Let a
be any element of E that is not in K. Then a = f(u)/g(u)
for some polynomials f(x), g(x) inK[x]
2.Let K contained in E contained in F be fields. Prove that if F is algebraic over K, then F is algebraic over E and E is algebraic over K
F is algebraic so F(u)=0
We want to show E(u)=0
3. Let F be an extension field of K and let u be a nonzero element of F that is algebraic
over K with minimal polynomial m(x) = x^n + a_(n−1)x^n−1 + · · · + a_1x + a_0. Show that
u^−1 is algebraic over K by finding a polynomial p(x) in K[x] such that p(u^−1) = 0.
Well I know a number u is algebraic if p(u)=0 for a plynomial p(x)
4. Let F be an extension field of K with [F : K] = m < infinity, and let p(x) in K[x] be a
polynomial of degree n that is irreducible over K. Show that if n does not divide m,
then p(x) has no roots in F.
n does not divide m, so we can't have m=nq
