Square root in number field
This answer is meant to answer only your second question.
Claim. Let $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{2})$ and $\alpha = \sqrt[3]{2}-\sqrt[3]{4} \in K$. Then there does not exist $\beta \in K$ such that $\beta^...

Algebraic numbers which prescribed degree which does not belong to some fields
Proposition 2 is false, although perhaps only for $n = 4$ (and $t = 2$ or $t = 3$). If $t = 2$, every algebraic number $\gamma$ of degree $4$ is contained in $K_{4}$.
Let $K$ be the Galois closure of $...

Algebraic numbers which prescribed degree which does not belong to some fields
Proposition 1 is true.
Let $x$ be an element of degree $n$ whose Galois group is isomorphic to $S_n$. Let $F$ be a finite subset of algebraic elements of degree $<n$. I claim that $x$ is not in the ...
