Find the polynomial of degree 4 with integer coefficient with zeros i, 3, and −3, and with
----
Since the coefficients are integers, -i is also a zero.
-----
f(x) = a(x+i)(x-i)(x+3)(x-3)
f(x) = a(x^2+1)(x^2-9)
----
Using P(−1) = 36, find "a".
36 = a(1+1)(1-9)
36 = a(2)(-8)
a = 36/-16
a = -9/4
---------
f(x) = (-9/4)(x^4-8x^2-9)
