Problem III.5.1.1

Show that an extension F⊃PF \supset P of prime degree has no proper (≠P,F)(\neq P, F) subfields.

?
Problem III.5.1.2

Find a primitive element of the extension Q(p,q)\mathbb {Q}(\sqrt{p}, \sqrt{q}), where pp and qq are prime numbers.

?
Problem III.5.1.3

Find the dimension over Q\mathbb {Q} of the splitting field of the polynomial Xp−2X^{p}-2.

?
Problem III.5.1.4

Show that over a field PP of characteristic p>0p>0, for the polynomial Xp−aX^{p}-a there are only two possibilities: to be irreducible, or to be the pp-th power of a linear polynomial.

?
Problem III.5.1.5

Let Zp(Y)Z_{p}(Y) be the field of rational fractions of characteristic pp. Show that Xp−YX^{p}-Y is a polynomial irreducible over Zp(Y)Z_{p}(Y), all of whose roots coincide.
