abstract algebra - Splitting field of x35inmathbbQ[X]. Galois group and fields?

I have this multi-part problem I have worked on in Galois Theory. I am particularly unsure abut finding all roots of our polynomial and the action of the Galois group. Also, I cannot see how we can have a subfield of order 4








Find the splitting field L of the polynomial X35Q[x]




Let Q be a field and f(X)Q[X]. A field extension L where QL is a splitting field for f(X) over Q if L=Q(α1,...,αn) with f(X)=c(Xα1)...(Xαn). c is the leading coefficient of f(X)



Here we have f(X)=X35 so we must find the roots of f(X). Clearly α1=35 is a root which means L=Q(35). Are there any others?




Prove that Gal(L/Q)S3 and describe the action of its elements on L





The polynomial is a reduced cubic, so the discriminant is given by 4a327b2=27(25) which is not square so the Galois group is S3



Is the action given by τ:3535?




Find all subfields of degree 2 over Q in L





The Galois group has order 6 so all subgroups will have orders that divide 6, namely 1,2,3 and 6.



So the subfield of degree 2 will correspond to the subgroups of degree 4 in S3 such as {e,(12)}



What is the corresponding subfield?




Find all subfields of degree 4 over Q in L





I am confused here since I thought that degrees of subfields had a 1:1 correspondence with the order of the subgroups. But S3 has no subgroup of order 4. Where I am going wrong?
