Question 1079506: Write a polynomial function of minimum degree with real coefficients whose zeros include those listed. Write the polynomial in standard form.
7, -11, and 2 + 8i
I understand that I have to foil these and that I have to find the conjugate, however, I am struggling with how to FOIL (x-(2+8i))(x-(2-8i))

given zeros:
,, and
since given , we will have too because complex zeros always coming in pairs
using zero product formula, we have
