(Marks: 20)

Answer any two questions. Only first two answers will be evaluated. 2x10 = 20

1. Let 𝐾 and 𝐾′ be two fields. Let 𝜎: 𝐾 → 𝐾′ be an isomorphism and 𝑝(𝑥) be an irreducible

polynomial over 𝐾. If 𝛽 and 𝛽′ are roots of 𝑝(𝑥) ∈ 𝐾[𝑥] and 𝑝′(𝑥) ∈ 𝐾′[𝑋] respectively,
then prove that 𝜎 can be extended to an isomorphism 𝜎̃: 𝐾(𝛽) → 𝐾′(𝛽′) such that 𝜎̃(𝛽) =
𝛽′. [10]

2. a. Find a splitting field 𝑆 of the polynomial 𝑝(𝑥) = 𝑥 + 𝑥 + 1 over ℚ and also deduce
its degree over ℚ.
b. Let 𝐹/𝐾 be a field extension and 𝐾 be an infinite field. If 𝛼 ∈ 𝐹 is algebraic and 𝛽 ∈
𝐹 is separable over 𝐾, then show that 𝐾(𝛼, 𝛽)/𝐾is a simple extension. [3+7]
3. a. Let 𝛼 be a root of the polynomial 𝑓(𝑥) ∈ 𝐾[𝑥]. Show that 𝛼 is a repeated root of 𝑓(𝑥)
if and only if 𝑓′(𝛼) = 0.
b. Prove that every polynomial over a field of characteristic 0 is separable. [5+5]

Answer any two questions. (Only first two answers will be evaluated) 10×2 = 20

1. (a) Let 𝑓: [1, 3] × [5, 8] → ℝ be a function, defined by
