Find a 4th degree polynomial with integer coefficients that

Find a 4th degree polynomial with integer coefficients that has zeros x = -1, 3, i and has f (0) = 10. You may leave your answer in factored form.

Solution

given coefficients are integers ,-1,3 are roots and i is one root

so its conjugate -i is also the root

polynomial is of the form f(x)=k(x+1)(x-3)(x-i)(x+i)

given f(0)=10

k(0+1)(0-3)(0-i)(0+i) =10

-3k =10

k =-10/3

f(x)=(-10/3)(x+1)(x-3)(x-i)(x+i)

f(x)=(-10/3)(x2-2x-3)(x2+1)

f(x)=(-10/3)(x4-2x3-2x2-2x-3)
