Justify the following Statements:
1. The splitting field of a polynomial over $F$ need not be a finite extension. [TRB]

2. An algebraic extension is always a finite extension. [TRB]

3. $\mathbb{R}$ is an algebraic extension of $\mathbb{Q}$.

4. Any finite extension of a field is a simple extension. [TRB]

5. Any finite extension of a field of characteristic zero is a simple extension. [TRB]

6. Normal extension of a field is always a finite extension. [TRB]

7. Every algebraic integer is algebraic number.
