Question 1113596: Write a polynomial function of minimum degree with real coefficients whose zeros include those listed. Write the polynomial in standard form.
3, -13, and 5 + 4i

The zeros at 3 and -13 result in factors (x-3)(x+13)
The zero at 5+4i will be one of two zeros, where the 2nd zero is at 5-4i (complex roots come in conjugate pairs).
Assuming the form and using the quadratic formula

—> —>
—>
generates zeros at

Putting it all together:
