Isomorphism of two field extensions Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be algebraic elements of an extension $L$ of $K$. Is it always true that if they have the same minimum polyomial then $K(\alpha)$ is isomorphic to $K(\beta)$? 
I think it is true, it follows pretty much straightforward out of the definition of miminum polynomial. My question is: are there exceptions? If not, how can you prove it?
And also: does it work the other way round, meaning if two extensions are isomorphic then they  always contain such a minimum polynomial?
 A: Hint (not really a hint as it pretty much gives you the answer): If $f(x)$ is the minimum polynomial of $\alpha, \beta$ then both $K(\alpha), K(\beta)$ are isomorphic to $K[x]/(f(x))$.
If your isomorphism fixes $K$ (i.e. acts as identity on $K$) then they have the same minimal polynomial. 
A: The last part of the question is not clear. First, extensions do not contain polynomials. Second, if you are asking, given that $K(\alpha)$ and $K(\beta)$ are isomorphic as extensions of $K$, is it true that $\alpha$ and $\beta$ have the same minimum polynomial, then certainly the answer is no. E.g., ${\bf Q}(\root4\of2)$ and ${\bf Q}(i\root4\of2+17)$ are isomorphic extensions of the rationals, but $\root4\of2$ and $i\root4\of2+17$ don't have the same minimum polynomial. But perhaps what you are asking is, given that $K(\alpha)$ and $K(\beta)$ are isomorphic as extensions of $K$, is there an element $\gamma$ such that $K(\beta)=K(\gamma)$ and $\alpha$ and $\gamma$ have the same minimum polynomial, then Rankeya's answer applies; take $\gamma$ to be the image of $\alpha$ under the isomorphism.
