Instructions
for HW8:
Problem 2: Please use
Galois theory here. (In one of early homeworks I assigned a problem
that gave a different method.)
Problem 3: Please work
through Example 4 on p. 563
Problem 17: Please
note that the extension K/F need not be necessarily Galois. The same
applies to Problem 18.
Polynomials (a) and (b):
Try to pick the generators of the splitting fields and of the
respective Galois groups as suitably as possible. This will simplify
your computations. For (a), you may consult Problem 16 that was on HW
7. In either case write down the generators of the group and a complete
list of equations.
