\begin{proof}
Suppose that $\alpha \in F$ is a root of both $P$ and $P'$.
Suppose that $\alpha \in \overline{F}$ is a root of both $P$ and $P'$.
Then $P = (x - \alpha)Q$ for some polynomial $Q$. Taking derivatives
we obtain $P' = Q + (x - \alpha)Q'$. Thus $\alpha$ is a root of $Q$.
Hence we see that if $P$ and $P'$ have a common root, then $P$
