Write the equation, in standard form, of a polynomial with real coefficients that has roots at :
,
, complex roots always come in pairs, so you have too
, and as well
passes through the point (,).
where is coefficient

since passes through the point (,) set and and solve for coefficient




exact value, and for more accurate result I will use exact value



we can round it and get shorter form, but zeros will not be exact
