Let F be a field and K a splitting field for some nonconstant polynomial
over F. Show that K is a finite extension of F.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that F be a field and K be a splitting field for some non constant polynomial over F.

We have to show that K is a finite extension of F.

Let a1,a2,a3,.....,an be the set of zeroes of a polynomial fxFx.

Let K be the splitting field of fx over F.

Then K=Fa1,a2,a3,.....,an.

Let Fk=Fa1,a2,a3,.....,an.

Then it is easy to see that K:F=k=0n1Fk1:Fk..........1.

Further, observe that aiFkak+1 for 1ik+1 and Fkak+1Fk+1.

Consequently, Fk+1:FkFkak+1:Fk.......2.
