Follow-up Question

Find a splitting field for the polynomial in the previous item. Write in the form Q(u,v) and follow the format for writing radicals.

The Galois group of the polynomial f over the rationals Q in the previous example is isomorphic to a subgroup H of order 4 in S_4. Describe this subgroup by listing down the permutations enclosed in a pair of braces {}. No spaces in writing permutations. {w,x,y,z} where each of x,y,z are non-identity permutations.
