Algebraic numbers with special properties

82 Views Asked by At

There is a "result" which would help me in my research.

Lemma. Let $d$ and $n$ be positive integers and let $\alpha$ be a real algebraic number with degree $r$. Then, there exists a real algebraic number $\gamma$, with degree $n$, for which $\alpha+\gamma^d$ has degree $nr$.

Any suggestions?
