For either ${\alpha }_j$, the same permutation-of-factors argument shows that every coefficient of $f(t,{\alpha }_j)$ lies in $L^G$.

They need not generate the whole fixed field. Assume $\mathrm{char}K\ne 2$, choose $a_1,a_2\in K$ with independent nonsquare classes, and putLet $G=\{1,\sigma \}$, whereThenso all their coefficients generate only $K$. However $\sqrt{a_1{a}_2}$ is fixed by $\sigma$, and the degree count in part (a) showsThus separate orbit polynomials can miss mixed invariants.
