Replacing by in the irreducible polynomial from part (i) gives . This substitution is an invertible automorphism of , so it preserves irreducibility. The roots are the primitive eighteenth roots, and the splitting field is . They are all powers of one such root, so its irreducible degree-six polynomial gives
In fact this is the same field as in part (i): and .
