(a) Let KK be a field and let f(t)K[t]f(t) \in K[t]. What does it mean for a field extension LL of KK to be a splitting field for f(t)f(t) over KK ?

Show that the splitting field for f(t)f(t) over KK is unique up to isomorphism.

(b) Find the Galois groups over the rationals Q\mathbb{Q} for the following polynomials: (i) t4+2t+2t^{4}+2 t+2. (ii) t5t1t^{5}-t-1.
