Problema Solution
find the degree of splitting field of x5-3x3+x2-3 over Q
Answer provided by our tutors
step1
given
x5-3x3+x2-3
step2
we can use factorization as under
x5-3x3+x2-3= x^3(x^2-3) +1(x^2-3)
= (x^3-3)(x^2-3)
step3
The two polynomials are irreducible . Therefore the splitting field must have subfields of degree 3 and of degree 2, so the degree of the splitting field over q is 5
roots are
x^2=3
x= 3 or -3
and
x^3=3
here complex roots exists
3 ,3w ,3(1+w^2)
hence total 5 roots
two real and 3 complesx roots
