abstract algebra - Show that the algebraic closure of F in K is an algebraic closure of F.


(a) Let K be an algebraically closed field extension of F. Show that the algebraic closure of F in K is an algebraic closure of F.




What is algebraic closure of F in K? The definition of algebraic closure is:



If K is an algebraic extension of F and is algebraically closed, then K is said to be an algebraic closure of F



In this case, K is more than algebraic extension so, what algebraically closed extension? I'm a little confused by this.





(b) If A={aC|ais algebraic overQ}, then, assuming that C is algebraically closed, show that A is an algebraic closure of Q.




I imagine that C is an algebraically closed field extension of Q and A is the algebraic closure of Q in C.



So, I would like some help to understand these definitions for can answer the two items. Thanks for the advance!



It may be useful to put some definitions:





Lema 1. If K is a field, then the following statements are equivalente:




  1. There are no algebraic extensions of K other than K itself.

  2. There are no finite extensions of K other than K itself.

  3. If L is a field extension of K, then K={aL|ais algebraic overK}.

  4. Every f(x)K[x] splits over K.

  5. Every f(x)K[x] has a root in K.

  6. Every irreducible polynomial over K has degree 1.




Definition 1. If K satisfies the equivalent conditions of Lema 1, then K is said to be algebraically closed.
