Solution
We have a(x)= x4 2x2 + 9. Let x2 = y. Then the given expression changes to a(x)= y2 -2y + 9 , where y = x2 . The roots of the polynomial are y =[-(-2) ± { ( -2)2 – 4*1*9}]/ 2*1 = [2 ±(4 – 36)]/2 = (2 ±-32)/2 =( 2 ± 4i 2)/2 = 1± 2 i 2 Thus, the roots of a(x) are x = ( 1+2i 2)1/2, -(1+2i 2)1/2, (1- 2 i 2 )1/2 and - (1- 2 i 2 )1/2 . Since the roots of a(x) are linear combinations of 2 and I, we say that Q (2, i ) is the root field of a(x) over Q.
