In the equation in part (b) of Corollary 5.4.2, show that we can assume that .
Answers
Proof. Here we suppose that has characteristic 0. So has as a subfield, and as a subring.
As is infinite, we can find in an integer which satisfies (5.16):
The remainder of of the proof is unchanged, and at each step of the induction, we choose such a , so the primitive element satisfies . □
