-1, 2, 3i; and f(-2)=10 Since 3i is a solution, its conjugate -3i is also a solution. [Note that since 3i is really 0+3i, its conjugate is 0-3i, which is -3i] So we start with x = -1; x = 2, x = 3i, x = -3i Get 0 on the right side of each: x+1 = 0; x-2 = 0 x-3i = 0, x+3i = 0 Myltiply all the left and right sides together. The right side will just be 0: (x+1)(x-2)(x-3i)(x+3i) = 0 Multiply both sides by a constant k, and the left side will be f(x) if we have the right value for k f(x) = k(x+1)(x-2)(x-3i)(x+3i) Multiply the first two and the last two factors f(x) = k(x²-2x+1x-2)(x²+3ix-3ix-9i²) f(x) = k(x²-x-2)(x²-9i²) Now since i² = -1, -9i² = -9(-1) = +9 f(x) = k(x²-x-2)(x²+9) Multiply those two parentheses together: f(x) = k(x4+9x²-x³-2x²-9x-18) Collect like terms: f(x) = k(x4-x³+7x²-9x-18) Now we can find k because we are given f(-2)=10 We substitute x=-2 f(-2) = k((-2)4-(-2)³+7(-2)²-9(-2)-18) f(-2) = k(16-(-8)+7(4)+18-18) f(-2) = k(16+8+28) f(-2) = k(52) We substitute 10 for f(-2) 10 = k(52)= k = k Substitute for k in: f(x) = k(x4-x³+7x²-9x-18) f(x) = (x4-x³+7x²-9x-18) f(x) = x4 - x³ + x² - x - Edwin
