6. Simple extensi<strong>on</strong>s 37Theorem 5. If e is <strong>the</strong> exp<strong>on</strong>ent and p f <strong>the</strong> degree <strong>of</strong> inseparability <strong>of</strong>finite extensi<strong>on</strong> K <strong>of</strong> k, <strong>the</strong>n e= f⇐⇒ K/k is simple.Pro<strong>of</strong>. Let K= k(ω). Let K o be <strong>the</strong> maximal separable subfield <strong>of</strong> K/k.Now (K : K o )= p f . But p f is degree <strong>of</strong>ω. Thus e= f □Let now K/k be a finite extensi<strong>on</strong> and e= f . There exists <strong>the</strong>n aωin K such thatω pe is separable and in K o but for no, t
