B. 4

Reasoning: The field extension Q(sqrt(2) + sqrt(3)) over Q is a finite extension, and its degree is equal to the dimension of Q(sqrt(2) + sqrt(3)) as a vector space over Q.

To find the degree, we can use the fact that Q(sqrt(2) + sqrt(3)) is isomorphic to Q(sqrt(2), sqrt(3)), which is a field extension of degree 4 over Q.

Therefore, the correct answer is B. 4.

Note: The other options are incorrect because:

* A. 0 is not a valid degree for a field extension.
* C. 2 is not the correct degree because Q(sqrt(2) + sqrt(3)) is not isomorphic to Q(sqrt(2)) or Q(sqrt(3)), which are field extensions of degree 2 over Q.
* D. 6 is not the correct degree because Q(sqrt(2) + sqrt(3)) is not isomorphic to Q(sqrt(2), sqrt(3), sqrt(6)), which is a field extension of degree 6 over Q.

The degree of the field extension \( \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}) \) over \( \mathbb{Q} \) can be determined by finding the minimal polynomial of \( \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3} \) over \( \mathbb{Q} \). Let \( \alpha = \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3} \). Squaring \( \alpha \), we get:
\[
\alpha^2 = (\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3})^2 = 5 + 2\sqrt{6}.
\]
This implies \( \sqrt{6} = \frac{\alpha^2 - 5}{2} \), so \( \sqrt{6} \in \mathbb{Q}(\alpha) \). Squaring again:
\[
\alpha^4 = (5 + 2\sqrt{6})^2 = 49 + 20\sqrt{6}.
\]
Substituting \( \sqrt{6} = \frac{\alpha^2 - 5}{2} \) into \( \alpha^4 \):
\[
\alpha^4 = 49 + 20\left(\frac{\alpha^2 - 5}{2}\right) = 10\alpha^2 - 1.
\]
Thus, \( \alpha^4 - 10\alpha^2 + 1 = 0 \). The polynomial \( x^4 - 10x^2 + 1 \) is irreducible over \( \mathbb{Q} \) (no rational roots and does not factor into quadratics with rational coefficients), so it is the minimal polynomial of \( \alpha \). Hence, the degree of the extension is \( 4 \).

Additionally, \( \mathbb{Q}(\alpha) \) contains \( \sqrt{2} \) and \( \sqrt{3} \), as shown by solving the system \( \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3} = \alpha \) and \( \sqrt{6} = \frac{\alpha^2 - 5}{2} \). Therefore, \( \mathbb{Q}(\alpha) = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{3}) \), which is a degree \( 4 \) extension over \( \mathbb{Q} \).

Let's consider the field extension Q(sqrt(2) + sqrt(3)). We can show that both sqrt(2) and sqrt(3) are in this extension. Then we can find the minimal polynomial for sqrt(2) + sqrt(3) over Q, which turns out to be of degree 4.

The field extension $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3})$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ is not of degree 2 because $\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}$ cannot be expressed as a rational multiple of either $\sqrt{2}$ or $\sqrt{3}$ alone. It is also not of degree 0 because it is clearly an extension of the rational numbers. To find the degree of the extension, we need to find a basis for the extension field over the base field $\mathbb{Q}$.

The elements $\{1, \sqrt{2}, \sqrt{3}, \sqrt{2}\sqrt{3}\}$ form a basis for the extension field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{3})$, which has degree 4 over $\mathbb{Q}$. Since $\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}$ is in $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{3})$, the degree of the extension $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3})$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ is also 4.

kimi To find the degree of the field extension \( \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}) \) over \( \mathbb{Q} \), we need to determine the dimension of \( \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}) \) as a vector space over \( \mathbb{Q} \).

First, let's express \( \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3} \) in terms of a basis over \( \mathbb{Q} \). We can write:

\[
(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}) = 1 \cdot \sqrt{2} + 1 \cdot \sqrt{3}
\]

Now, we need to find a basis for \( \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}) \). Since \( \sqrt{2} \) and \( \sqrt{3} \) are not in \( \mathbb{Q} \), they are linearly independent over \( \mathbb{Q} \). However, we need to consider the minimal polynomial of \( \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3} \) over \( \mathbb{Q} \).

The minimal polynomial of \( \sqrt{2} \) over \( \mathbb{Q} \) is \( x^2 - 2 \), and the minimal polynomial of \( \sqrt{3} \) over \( \mathbb{Q} \) is \( x^2 - 3 \). We need to find a polynomial that has \( \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3} \) as a root. Let's denote \( \alpha = \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3} \). Then:

\[
\alpha^2 = (\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3})^2 = 2 + 2\sqrt{6} + 3 = 5 + 2\sqrt{6}
\]

Now, let's consider \( \alpha - 1 \), which is \( \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3} - 1 \). We want to find a polynomial that has \( \alpha - 1 \) as a root. Let's square \( \alpha - 1 \):

\[
(\alpha - 1)^2 = (\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3} - 1)^2 = (\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3})^2 - 2(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}) + 1 = 5 + 2\sqrt{6} - 2\sqrt{2} - 2\sqrt{3} + 1
\]

Simplifying, we get:

\[
(\alpha - 1)^2 = 6 - 2(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}) + 2\sqrt{6}
\]

Now, let's multiply \( \alpha - 1 \) by \( \alpha \):

\[
\alpha(\alpha - 1) = (\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3})(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3} - 1) = 5 + 2\sqrt{6} - (\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}) = 4 + 2\sqrt{6} - \sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3}
\]

We can see that \( \alpha \) and \( \alpha - 1 \) are not enough to form a basis, but we can see that \( \alpha^2 \) will introduce a term with \( \sqrt{6} \), which is also not in \( \mathbb{Q} \). So, we need to consider \( \alpha^2 \) and \( \alpha(\alpha - 1) \) as well.

The minimal polynomial of \( \alpha \) over \( \mathbb{Q} \) is:

\[
x^4 - 10x^2 + 1
\]

This polynomial has degree 4, which means that the field extension \( \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}) \) over \( \mathbb{Q} \) has degree 4.

Explanation:
The field extension Q(sqrt(2) + sqrt(3)) over Q can be viewed as an extension of Q by adjoining the roots of the polynomial x^4 - 10x^2 + 1 (which is the minimal polynomial of sqrt(2) + sqrt(3)). Since this polynomial is of degree 4 and irreducible over Q, the degree of the field extension is 4.

zhipu To determine the degree of the field extension \(\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3})\) over \(\mathbb{Q}\), we need to find the minimal polynomial of \(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}\) over \(\mathbb{Q}\).

Let \(x = \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}\). Then,
\[ x - \sqrt{2} = \sqrt{3} \]
Squaring both sides, we get:
\[ (x - \sqrt{2})^2 = 3 \]
\[ x^2 - 2x\sqrt{2} + 2 = 3 \]
\[ x^2 - 2x\sqrt{2} - 1 = 0 \]

To eliminate the square root, square the equation again:
\[ (x^2 - 1)^2 = (2x\sqrt{2})^2 \]
\[ x^4 - 2x^2 + 1 = 8x^2 \]
\[ x^4 - 10x^2 + 1 = 0 \]

Thus, the minimal polynomial of \(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}\) over \(\mathbb{Q}\) is \(x^4 - 10x^2 + 1\), which is of degree 4.

Therefore, the degree of the field extension \(\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3})\) over \(\mathbb{Q}\) is 4.

deepseekv3 To determine the degree of the field extension \( \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}) \) over \( \mathbb{Q} \), we can follow these steps:

1. **Express the Extension:**
Let \( \alpha = \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3} \). We need to find the minimal polynomial of \( \alpha \) over \( \mathbb{Q} \).

2. **Find the Minimal Polynomial:**
Compute \( \alpha^2 \):
\[
\alpha^2 = (\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3})^2 = 2 + 2\sqrt{6} + 3 = 5 + 2\sqrt{6}
\]
Then, \( \alpha^2 - 5 = 2\sqrt{6} \). Squaring both sides again:
\[
(\alpha^2 - 5)^2 = (2\sqrt{6})^2 \Rightarrow \alpha^4 - 10\alpha^2 + 25 = 24
\]
Simplifying:
\[
\alpha^4 - 10\alpha^2 + 1 = 0
\]
Thus, the minimal polynomial of \( \alpha \) is \( x^4 - 10x^2 + 1 \).

3. **Determine the Degree:**
The degree of the minimal polynomial is 4, which means the degree of the field extension \( \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}) \) over \( \mathbb{Q} \) is 4.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

**B. 4**
