Exercise 4.3.9 (Uniqueness of homomorphism over K)

Fill in the details of the last paragraph of that proof.

Answers

Solution: We show that there is at most one homomorphism ϕ : K(t) L over K such that ϕ(t) = β. We let ϕ and ϕ be two such homomorphisms. Then we have that ϕ(t) = β = ϕ(t). By Lemma 4.3.1 (ii) we have that t generates K(t) over K, and hence by Lemma 4.3.6 ϕ = ϕ
