Question
**5.9.**

(a) Let \( K/F \) be an extension of fields. Prove that
\[
[K : F] = 1 \quad \text{if and only if} \quad K = F.
\]

(b) Let \( L/F \) be a finite extension of fields, and suppose that \([L : F]\) is prime. Suppose further that \( K \) is a field lying between \( F \) and \( L \); i.e., \( F \subseteq K \subseteq L \). Prove that either \( K = F \) or \( K = L \).
