Let F be a field, and K a finite extension of F. Suppose that for every irreducible polynomial P(x)∈F[x], if P(x) has one root in K, then P(x) has all its roots in K. How can we show that K is a splitting field of some polynomial in F?
Since K is a finite extension of F, there exists c∈K such that K=F(c). Let P(x) be the minimal polynomial of c over F. I think K is a splitting field of P, but how to show it?
Answer
Nothing left to prove. P(x) is irreducible over F, K contains all its roots, and K is the extension with (one of) them over F.
