Information is given about a polynomial fx whose coefficient
Information is given about a polynomial f(x) whose coefficients are real numbers. Find the remaining zeros of f. Degree 4; zeros: i, 13 + i Enter the remaining zeros of f.
Solution
for a polynoimial with real coefficients ,if complex numbers are the roots then their conjugates are also the roots
given i , 13+i are the roots , so their conjugates -i , 13-i are also the roots
plynomial of degree 4 is
f(x)=(x-i)(x-(13+i))(x-(-i))(x-(13-i))
f(x)=(x-i)(x-(13+i))(x+i)(x-(13-i))
f(x)=(x-i) (x+i)(x-(13+i))(x-(13-i))
f(x)=(x2-(i2))(x2-x(13-i) -(13+i)x +(13+i)(13-i))
f(x)=(x2-(-1))(x2-13x +ix -13x-ix +(132-i2))
f(x)=(x2+1)(x2-26x +170)
f(x)=x2(x2-26x +170) +(x2-26x +170)
f(x)=(x4-26x3 +170x2) +(x2-26x +170)
f(x)=x4-26x3 +171x2-26x +170
