polynomials - Prove two bases are dual in a finite field.

Let K be a finite field, F=K(α) a finite simple extension of degree n, and fK[x] the minimal polynomial of α over K. Let f(x)xα=β0+β1x++βn1xn1F[x] and γ=f(α).



Prove that the dual basis of {1,α,,αn1} is {β0γ1,β1γ1,,βn1γ1}.


I met this exercise in "Finite Fields" Lidl & Niederreiter Exercises 2.40, and I do not how to calculate by Definition 2.30. It is


Definition 2.30 Let K be a finite field and F a finite extension of K. Then two bases {α1,α2,,αm} and {β1,β2,,βm} of F over K are said to be dual bases if for 1i,jm we have TrF/K(αiβj)={0forij,1fori=j.


I think γ=limxαf(x)f(α)=0xα=β0+β1α+βn1αn1.


How can I continue? The lecturer did not teach the "dual bases" section.
