The algebraic elements of $K$ extension of $F$ are a subfield of $K$












2












$begingroup$


the question I wanna try to answer is this:




The algebraic elements of $K$ extension of $F$ are a subfield of $K$




I know that:



An element $a in K$ is algebraic on $F$ if $f(a)=0$ for some polynomial $not=0$. Let $S$ be the subfield of algebraic elements of K. So as definition, $S in K$ because $K$ is an extension of S too. But if it's an algebraic extension, must be closed and of course finite.



My approach is that I have two algebraic elements $a,b in K$.
$a+b in K$ and also $ab in K$, and of course they belong to $S$ too.



Maybe I need to write a polynomial with the algebraic elements and show that is finite?



I've some difficult to glue together those pieces for a satisfying proof. Any hints?



Thanks

            To prove the first I can write an $f(x) = x^n + a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+...+a_1 x+a_0$ with $a_i$ algebraic elements, so I have a set $L={ a_0,a_1,...,a_{n-1}}$. This set is finite. The solutions of the polynomial lives in $K$ for some $s$ solution(s) of $f(x)$. Then $K(s)$ is a subfield of algebraic elements of $K$. The second assertion is that if we repeat for a $b$, we have anothe extention that is finite, so the proof is complete. Any error?

            I think that we could prove this also with a $f(x)$ composed of coefficient $a,b$ instead of the all $n-tuple$ set used previously. The idea is the same
