EXTENSION FIELD


The lecturer proved that: Q( √2, √3) = { a + b √2 + c √3 + d √6 }

Can someone please explain the highlight parts in his works for me? I don't get it:


- Why if F is a field then F is the smallest ?

- Why  √2 not in Q, then we have those stuff = 0 ?

- Similarly, why  √3 not in Q, then we have those stuff = 0. ?

Thank you.
