Determine the minimal polynomial of √−3+√2 over Q .
Let f(x) be any polynomial over F and α be any automorphism of a field k⊇F such that α leaves every element of F fixed, i.e., α(a)=a∀a∈F. Show that for any root α of f(x) in K,σ(α) is also a root of f(x) .
Let m be a positive integer, which is not a perfect square. Show that the mapping α+β√m↦α−β√m,α,β∈Q , is an automorphism of Q(√m) . Hence show that for any rational numbers α,β with β≠0 , the minimal polynomials of α+β√m and α−β√m over Q are same .
Let F be a field and α is algebraic over F. Show that if [F(α):F)] is odd, then F(α)=F(α2) .

Show that if G is a group of order 2n , then there are exactly an odd number of elements of order 2 in G . Also show that if n is odd and G is abelian, there is only one element of order 2 .
Let G be the group of all 2×2 matrices (abcd), where a,b,c,d are integers modulo p,p a prime number, such that ad−bc≠0. Determine the order of G .
Show that, in a group G,∘(ab)=∘(ba) for all a,b∈G . Further show that if a and b commute, and ∘(a)=n1,∘(b)=n2 and (n1,n2)=1, then ∘(ab)=∘(ba)=n1n2 .
