Question
If `alpha` is an element of an extension field
E over a field F, which of the following statements
correctly distinguishes between algebraic and
transcendental elements over F:
A) `alpha` is algebraic over F if it is a root of
any polynomial `p(x) in F[x]`, wheras `alpha` is
transcendental over F if it is a root of no
non-zero polynomial `p(x) in F[x]`.
B) `alpha` is algebraic over F if it is a root of some
non-zero polynomial `p(x) in F[x]`, wheras `alpha`
is transcendental over F if it is a root of no
non-zero polynomial `p(x) in F[x]`
