abstract algebra - If a field extension of prime degree p contains two roots of an irreducible polynomial then it contains all the roots.

Let f(x)F[x] be an irreducible separable polynomial of degree p, with distinct roots α1,,αp. I want to show that if F(α1)=F(α1,α2), then F(α1)=F(α1,,αp), ie. F(α1) is the splitting field of f(x).



So far, what I know is that F(α1)F(αi) for all 1ip, can I somehow extend this to show that (F(α1))(α1)(F(α1))(αi)? Thanks
