Abstract

Theorem. An irreducible cubic polynomial with rational coefficients has a root in a one step radical extension of Q if and only if the discriminate is a square of a rational number. Theorem. An irreducible polynomial x4+px2+qx+s with rational coefficients q≠0, p and s has a root in a one step radical extension of Q if and only if the cubic resolution has rational root t such that t>p/2 and A:=16(t2-s)2-(t2-s)(2t+p)2 is a square of a rational number.
