polynomial of degree 3:
3,2 iSolution
Always irrational zeros occur in pairs.
So, since 2-i is a zero, its additive conjugate 2+i is also a zero.
So the zeros are
3, 2-i, 2+i
So the corresponding factors are
(x-3), (x-(2-i)), (x- (2+i))
So the equation after we simplify these is,
(x-3) ((x-2) + i) ((x-2) - i)
= (x-3) ((x-2)2-i2)
= ( x-3) (x2-4x+4-(-1)) (Because i2=-1)
= (x-3) (x2-4x+5)
= x3-4x2+5x -3x2+12x-15
=x3-7x2+17x-15
