to Sir Aifour: we can construct polynomes of both 3^(rd) and 4^(th) degree in a way that the constants are ∈Z or ∈Q and the solutions are not trivial i.e. (t−α)(t+(α/2)−(√β))(t+(α/2)+(√β))=0∧t=x+(γ/3) ⇔ x^3 +γx^2 −(((3α^2 )/4)+β−(γ^2 /3))x−((α^3 /4)+((α^2 γ)/4)−αβ+((βγ)/3)−(γ^3 /(27)))=0 or the more complicated with sinus/cosinus (x−α−(√β)−(√γ)−(√δ))(x−α−(√β)+(√γ)+(√δ))(x−α+(√β)−(√γ)+(√δ))(x−α+(√β)+(√γ)−(√δ))=0 where all constants ∈Q if (√(βγδ))∈Q I could not find a similar construction for a polynome of 5^(th) degree, where the 5 roots are of comparable complexity [(x−a)(x−b−ci)(x−b+ci)(x−d−ei)(x−d+ei) doesn′t count] maybe you should at first focus on this
