Algebraic Over a Noetherian Domain

I would appreciate any clues to this one::
 
Let E be a field extension of a Noetherian unique factorization domain D. Suppose that E = QD[a1,...,an] for some a1,...,an, and QD is quotient field of D. Show that E is algebraic over D.

Does "field extension of a domain D" mean something other than an extension of QD?

Very Nice problem!
 
Just as good as solving this problem itself is the discovery
that it is one of several theorems that are closely related,
but this one is not as visible as its relatives (but is one in a  
different form).  
 
Getting to this point with this particular problem says  
that you already know that the homomorphic image of a  
Noetherian ring is itself Noretherian (that's certainly  
textbook nevertheless) and, yes, apart from the problem  
statement we really are really talking about rings in the  
general sense and here we also know about R-modules and  
that a quotient field is the smallest field extension into  
which an integral domain may be embedded.
 
The main result is about the existence of zeros in the  
algebraic closure of   D .
 
You can show this by contradiction if you can prove:
 
Let    E = D(Z1,...,Zn)   be a rational function field over  
D   with   n >= 1   indeterminates, then   E  is not  
finitely generated as ring over   Q_D.

I'm afraid I'm not following.  It doesn't look like we're given any information at all about E, beyond that it is a field extension of D.  So why not just take QD [a], with a transcendental?

it is not that easy.  i know that D can be obtained from QD by a ring adjunction.  i think i do and also I think I don't know what he means by n > 1 indetermines.

ok, without proof and assuming that statement is true "does" give me a tool to work with namely in the sense that E is generated as an S module with S=QD, as i am talking about S not being a generated ring over QD
 
as for the transcendental suggestion...I have to ask if you know or not if you do "know" that a transcendental extension of rationals in a field/set by itself iis/does make any sense here over an integral domain and.... hardly not workable here and humm well at least to my knowledge?  
 
please enlighten me otheriwise
 
actually a transcendental field is not an extension of a rational field because there is no rationals in this kind of extension

Hold on - what you stated about a transcendental extension is not true.
 
See the last sentence

OK, well, for those who may be interested in this problem,  it is the  
field version of the Hilbert Nullstellensatz theorem. You may not be  
able to google this particular form but you will get the others.
