Hi,

I need to determine if a given algebraic number is rational.  Here is
the setup:

PolynomialRing(ZZ, 'x')
A=-2
B=5
f=x^3 + A*x +B
D=-4*A^3-27*B^2
L.<c> = NumberField(f)

Then I need to know if a given number beta=b0+b1*c+b2*c^2 is rational
or not.  It tried using

K.<s>=QQ.extension(beta.minpoly())
K==QQ

but I'm not sure if this is reliable.

Thanks,
Zach
