Find the degree of the extensions $mathbb{F}(x) / mathbb{F}$












0












$begingroup$


Here $mathbb{F}$ is a field and $mathbb{F}(x) ={ frac{q}{p}: q,p in mathbb{F}[x], p neq 0}$.



I think the proper way to solve is to use the fact that an infinite extension of a countable field should be of infinite degree. However, $mathbb{F}$ is not necessarily countable.

    This does not quite look like a fact, but rather as a tautology.

    The set ${1,x, x^2, ldots }$ is linearly independent.
