- Let ab in a field F. Show that x+a and x+b are relatively prime in F[x].arrow_forwardSuppose that f(x),g(x), and h(x) are polynomials over the field F, each of which has positive degree, and that f(x)=g(x)h(x). Prove that the zeros of f(x) in F consist of the zeros of g(x) in F together with the zeros of h(x) in F.arrow_forwardTrue or False Label each of the following statements as either true or false. Every polynomial equation of degree over a field can be solved over an extension field of .arrow_forward
