Question
We have proved that every element `beta in F(alpha)` such that
`beta ne F` must be transcendent over F.
The proof utilizes a strategy of contradiction. By assuming
an element `beta in F(alpha)` where `beta ne F` is algebraic
over F, a chain of logical steps leads to a contradiction.
What is the main contradiction that drives this proof
and ultimately confirms the desired statement:
A) The initial assumption that `beta ne F` is contradicted
by showing that `beta` must necessarily be an element of F.
B) The initial assumption that `beta` is algebraic over F
is contradicted by showing that `alpha` must be algebraic over F
