Given 3 i is a root of 2 z4 3 z3 39z2 120 z 50 0 find
Given 3 + i is a root of 2 z^4 - 3 z^3 - 39z^2 + 120 z - 50 = 0, find the other roots with all workings shown.
Solution
If 3 + i is a root , then 3-i is also a root .
And (z-3-i)(z-3+i) = z2-6z + 10
Now we divide the given polynomial by z2-6z +10 to reduce it .
And on dividing we get 2z2+9z -5 = (2z-1)(z+5)
2z-1=0 , z+5=0
z=1/2 , -5
Therefore the roots are z=3+i , 3-i ,-5,1/2
