How to show that this simple extension avoids adding more elements in $L$?












0












$begingroup$


$Fsubset L subset K$ is a field extension, $α in K$ is algebraic element over $F$ , whose minimal polynomial $p(x)$ over $F$ is irreducible over $L$, show that $F(α)cap L = F$



I don't know how to do..thanks for any help..

          $begingroup$

          $newcommand{Size}[1]{leftlvert #1 rightrvert}$Recall that every element of $F(alpha)$ can be written uniquely as $q(alpha)$, where $q(x) in F[x]$ is either zero, or has degree less than the degree of $p(x)$.



          Also, since $p(x)$ is irreducible over $L$, it is the minimal polynomial of $alpha$ not only over $F$, but also over $L$



          Suppose by way of contradiction that $F(alpha) cap L supsetneq F$. Then there is a non-constant polynomial $q(x) in F[x]$, of degree smaller than the degree of $p(x)$, such that $q(alpha) = b in L$. But then $alpha$ is a root of $0 ne q(x) - b in L[x]$. This is a contradiction, as $q(x) - b$ has degree less than $p(x)$, which was assumed to be the minimal polynomial of $alpha$ over $L$.
