Question 742143: Find the remaining zeros of the following polynomial given that P(i)=0.
P(x) = x^4 -8x^3 +14x^2 -8x +13
I know that -i is the conjugate so (x+i)(x-i) = (x^2+1). I am stuck with how to break down the polynomial. Sythetic division leaves a remainer. I also know I need to get this into quadradic from so I can use the formula.

The problem is that "i" is not a root of P(x). You can see that
if you substitute "i" for "x".
