Every permutes the factors:
Thus all coefficients lie in the fixed field . Let be the field they generate over . Then
Because and has degree with root ,
Part (a) and the tower law for field extensions give
Consequently , so
This is the coefficients of an orbit polynomial for a primitive generator result.
