Then $K$ is separably closed if and only if
This page has been identified as a candidate for refactoring of basic complexity. Until this has been finished, please leave {{Refactor}} in the code.
New contributors: Refactoring is a task which is expected to be undertaken by experienced editors only. Because of the underlying complexity of the work needed, it is recommended that you do not embark on a refactoring task until you have become familiar with the structural nature of pages of $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$.To discuss this page in more detail, feel free to use the talk page. When this work has been completed, you may remove this instance of {{Refactor}} from the code. |
Definition 1
The only separable field extension of $K$ is $K$ itself.
Definition 2

Definition 3
Every separable polynomial over $K$ of strictly positive degree has a root in $K$.
