is as small as possible. Since P 1 ,P 2 have no co mmon roots, it is easy to see
that they must be linearly independent over K .Let

(11.4)
= j , the polynomial R i cannot be a constant multiple of
R j , since otherwise the linear independence of P 1 ,P 2 would imply that ( a i ,b i )
is a constant multiple of ( a j ,b j ).
Since the vectors ( a 3 ,b 3 )and( a 4 ,b 4 ) are lin ear combinations of ( a 1 ,b 1 )and
( a 2 ,b 2 ), there are constants c 1 ,c 2 ,d 1 ,d 2 ∈ K such that
Note that when i
R 3 = c 1 R 1 − d 1 R 2 ,
R 4 = c 2 R 1 − d 2 R 2 .
If ( c 1 ,d 1 ) is proportional to ( c 2 ,d 2 ), then R 3 is a constant times R 4 ,whichis
not possible. Therefore, ( c 1 ,d 1 )and( c 2 ,d 2 ) are not proportional. Moreover,
since ( a 1 ,b 1 )and( a 2 ,b 2 ) are linearly independent, Equation (11.4) for i =1 , 2
can be solved for P 1 and P 2 , showing that P 1 and P 2 are linear combinations
of R 1 and R 2 . Therefore, a common root of R 1 and R 2 is a common root of
P 1 and P 2 , which doesn't exist. It follows that R 1 and R 2 have no common
roots. It follows easily (by using equations similar to (11.2) and (11.3)) that
c 1 R 1 + d 1 R 2
d 1 R 2
c 1 R 1
and
have no common roots. Since their pro duct i s sq uare, na me ly R 3 , eac h factor
must be a square. Similarly, both c 2 R 1 + d 2 R 2 and c 2 R 1 d 2 R 2 must
be squares. Therefore, R 1 ,R 2 are polynomials satisfying the conditions of the
lemma for the pairs
( c 1 , d 1 ) ,
( c 1 , − d 1 ) ,
( c 2 , d 2 ) ,
( c 2 , − d 2 ) .
Since ( c 1 ,d 1 )and( c 2 ,d 2 ) are not proportional, ne ith er of the first two pairs
is pro port io nal to either of the last two pairs. If ( c 1 , d 1 ) is proportional to
d 1 ), then either c 1 or d 1 is zero, which means that R 3 is a constant
multiple of either R 1 or R 2 . This cannot be the case, as pointed out above.
Similarly, the last two pairs are not proportional.
Equation (11.4) implies that
( c 1 ,
Max(deg( P 1 ) , deg( P 2 )) 2Max(deg( R 1 ) , deg( R 2 )) .
Since R 1 and R 2 are clearly nonconstant, this contradicts the minimality
of Max(deg( P 1 ) , deg( P 2 )). Therefore, all polynomials P 1 ,P 2 satisfying the
conditions of the lemma must be constant. This proves Lemma 11.6.
Returning to the proof of Lemma 11.5, we have polynomials P 1 ,P 2 and
pairs
