Lemma 10.136.9. Suppose that $A$ is a ring, and $P(x) = x^ n + b_1 x^{n-1} + \ldots + b_ n \in A[x]$ is a monic polynomial over $A$. Then there exists a syntomic, finite locally free, faithfully flat ring extension $A \subset A'$ such that $P(x) = \prod _{i = 1, \ldots , n} (x - \beta _ i)$ for certain $\beta _ i \in A'$.
Proof. Take $A' = A \otimes _ R S$, where $R$ and $S$ are as in Example 10.136.8, where $R \to A$ maps $a_ i$ to $b_ i$, and let $\beta _ i = -1 \otimes \alpha _ i$. $\square$
