galios theory really stuck

~Death~

E=Q(4th root of 2, i) and G is the galios group of E over Q

I found the minimal polynomial p(x) of 4th root of 2 over Q and Q(i) to be
x^4-2

I'm trying to show

(1) the galios group H of E over Q(i) is a normal subgroup of G

(2) If K is the galios group of Q(i) over Q show that it is isomorphic to G/H

so I can ultimately show that G is actually D4 (the group of symmetries)

but I'm compeltely stuck

Okay, what have you done so far? What are the roots of the polynomial ? What is G? What is H?

By the way- it is 'Galois theory'. Capital G because it is a person's name and o before i.

I found the minimal polynomial of 4th root of 2 over Q and Q(i) to be
x^4-2

and the roots are +/-w, +/-wi where w is the 4th root of 2

Additional hint: What is the splitting field of over Q?
