Exercise 9, § 2

Algebra, VI, p. 39

Let q ≥0\geq 0 be a non-square natural number; let A denote the set {1,q}\{ 1, \sqrt{q} \} in the field K=Q(q)K = \mathbf{Q}(\sqrt{q}): show that K is A-orderable. Show that there exists an extension E of K such that E is pythagorean, orderable, and that every odd degree polynomial over E has a root in E, but that E does not admit the structure of a maximal ordered field (consider a maximal A-orderable extension of K).
