If 5 + 2i is a zero, then 5 - 2i must also be a zero. Let r be the third zero.
Then from algebra, the sum of the roots of the polynomial taken one at a time is equal to , so that r + (5 + 2i) + (5 - 2i) = 7, or r + 10 = 7, or r = -3. Therefore the zeros of the polynomial are -3, 5 + 2i, and 5 - 2i.
