Show that the polynomial has no rational roots. Show that the splitting field of over the finite field is an extension of degree 4 . Hence deduce that is irreducible over the rationals. Prove that has precisely two (non-multiple) roots over the finite field . Find the Galois group of over the rationals.
[You may assume any general results you need including the fact that is the only index 2 subgroup of .]
