(x-1)(x-4)(X^2+4)=0. The last must have two roots, +/- 2i
(x^2-5x+4)(x^2 +4)=0
x^4-5x^3+8x^2-20x+16

write the simplest polynomial equation that has roots 1+ 2i and 4
============
Complex roots occur in pairs.
--> 1+2i, 1-2i, 4
(x^2 -2x + 5)*(x-4)
= x^3 - 6x^2 + 13x - 20
===============================
The other tutor interpreted it as
1, +2i and 4.
