EXERCISE 4. Let E = F(x), the field of rational functions over F. (We shall hereafter denote the set of polynomials over F by F[x].) Show that the mapping f(x) → f(x + 1) is an automorphism of the field E and prove further that the fixed elements under this automorphism are the constants (i.e., the elements of F).
