z=2+j is one root of the equation z4 - 2z³- z²+ 2z + 10 = 0
We use synthetic division:
2+j|1 -2 -1 2 10
| 2+j -1+2j -6+2j -10
1 j -2+2j -4+2j 0
So we have factored the polynomial as
[z - (2+j)][z³+ jz²+ (-2+2j)z + (-4+2j)z] = 0
Next we factor the cubic polynomial, since we know that if
2+j is a root, its conjugate 2-j is also a root
2-j|1 j -2+2j -4+2j
| 2-j 4-2j 4-2j
1 2 2 0
So we have now factored the polynomial as
[z - (2+j)][z - (2-j)](z²+ 2z + 2) = 0
We set each equal to 0
Setting the first two factors = 0 just gives z = 2+j and z = 2-j.
Setting the third factor = 0 gives
z²+ 2z + 2 = 0
z = -1±j
So the roots other than the given one, 2+j, are 2-j, -1+j and -1-j
