Write the equation of a 4th degree polynomial function with the following roots: x=1 with multiplicity 2, and x i )
Solution
if one root is i other will be -i as conjugate pair
(x-i)(x+i) will be a factor
(x^2+1) will be a factor as i^2 =-1
another root is 1 with multiplicity 2
so the polynomial will be
(x-1)^2(x^2+1)
Thank you.
