The set of roots of x 4  x 2  1 is 

 

splitting filed is equal to L  F 
because of the identity i 3 

 
 1 is F  i 3  . Now, it is left to

1  i 3 1  i 3

, it can be written as F i 3  L . Putting

together we have L  F i 3 , so the splitting field of x 4  x 2

prove F i 3  F   where  

Hence, the desired result follows as F   is proved to be the splitting field of x 4  x 2  1 .
Question 6:
a) Let L be the splitting field. According to Euler’s formula, the roots of f  x   x4  1 are

subtracting the roots, we have i, 2  L . But since ei /4

have F i, 2  F ei /4 and therefore i, 2  F ei / 4 . By minimality, we can conclude

but F i, 2 

L : F   4 .

b) Let L be the splitting field. The roots of x 6  1 are i,  ,  5 where   ei /6 . Hence, the





splitting field L of x 6  1 over F is F i,  ,  5  F  i,   . Moreover,  
