Let $F\subseteq E\subseteq K$ be consecutive field extensions and $f\in F[x]$ be non-constant.

My textbook is going through an example on splitting fields. It asked to find a splitting field for x^4 - 6x^2 - 7 over the rational numbers. This polynomial factors to (x^2 - 7)*(x^2+1) which has roots of 7^(1/2) and i. So i figured the extension field E we are looking for is Q(i)(7^(1/2)), but...
