Prove using induction:
If F is any field and f(x)=p1(x)p2(x)...pn(x) is a nonconstant
polynomaial of the field, f an element of F, and p1,...,pn are
irreducible factors of the field.
Then, there exists a field L such that f factors into linear
factors over L.
Hint: start with p1(x) to prove that F is a subset of some
K1=F[x]/((p1)) , then induct.
