Let E/K be a field extension, $1+1neq0$ in K and $alpha$, $beta in K^x={a in K |, exists , b: ab = ba =1}$.



Proof with Galois theory: $K(sqrt alpha) = K(sqrt beta) Leftrightarrow exists , gamma in K^x : alpha = gamma^2beta$




Got so far that $sqrt alpha, sqrt beta notin K Rightarrow [K(sqrt alpha):K]= 2 =[K(sqrt beta):K] overset{char(K) neq 2}Rightarrow K(sqrt alpha), K(sqrt beta)$ are galois.

          $implies$: Assuming $K(sqrtalpha) = K(sqrtbeta)$.



          If $sqrtalpha = xin K$, then $K(sqrtalpha) = K$, so we have $sqrtbetain K$. Set $gamma = frac{sqrtalpha}{sqrtbeta}$ and we're done.



          Otherwise, we have $sqrtalphain K(sqrtbeta)$. In other words, there are $x, yin K$ such that
          $$
          sqrtalpha = x + ysqrtbeta\
          alpha = x^2 + beta y^2 + 2xysqrtbeta
          $$
          From this we can deduce that $2xy = 0$, which because $1+1neq 0$ gives us $xy = 0$, meaning either $x = 0$ or $y = 0$. However, $sqrtalphanotin K$ implies $yneq 0$, so we must have $x = 0$. Set $gamma = y$, and we're done.



          $Longleftarrow,$: Assuming $alpha = gamma^2beta$.



          We have $sqrtalpha = gammasqrtbeta in K(sqrtbeta)$ and $sqrtbeta = sqrtalpha/gammain K(sqrtalpha)$, meaning the two fields must be the same.

            What do you mean by "application of Galois theory".? If you admit that Kummer theory (see any text book) is contained in Galois theory, then you can apply it directly. For a summary of Kummer theory, see e.g. math.stackexchange.com/a/1609061/300700

          What do you mean by "application of Galois theory".? If you admit that Kummer theory (see any text book) is contained in Galois theory, then you can apply it directly. For a summary of Kummer theory, see e.g. math.stackexchange.com/a/1609061/300700
