Exercise 6, § 9

Algebra, I, 175

Let K be a commutative field of characteristic ≠2\neq 2; let f be a mapping of K into K such that f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y)f(x + y) = f(x) + f(y) for all x and y and for all x≠0x \neq 0 f(x)f(1/x)=1f(x)f(1/x) = 1. Show that f is an isomorphism of K onto a subfield of K (prove that f(x2)=(f(x))2f(x^2) = (f(x))^2).
