I am struggling to find the minimal polynomial for $\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt{2}+\sqrt[3]{5}}{\sqrt{3}}$. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Katie.

    @Chandru: somehow the last parenthesis is not within the reference. I've noticed this in comments before, but don't know how to make links in a comment. Wikipedia gets you there with an extra click, though.2011-05-31

    @Ross, use [text](url). So if the URL has a closing parenthesis, you need to put two. Like so: [minimal polynomial](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimal_polynomial_(field_theory))2011-05-31

    @Ross, the original number had $\sqrt[3]5$.2011-05-31
