Hi,
(x-2)(x+6i)
(x^2 -2x +6i - 12i) = (x^2 -2x - 6i)
(x^2 -2x -6i)(x-6i) to finish Up
x^3 - 2x^2 - 6ix - 6ix^2 +12ix - 36
combine Like terms
x^3 -2(1+3i)x^2 +6ix - 36

To be a polynomial we need real coefficients
so we want something like:
(x-2)(x+6i)(x-6i)
This expands to
(x-2)( x^2 - (6i)^2 )
(x-2)( x^2 - ( 36i^2 ) )
(x-2)( x^2 - ( 36(-1)) )
(x-2)( x^2 + 36 ) expanded gives us
x^3 -2x^2 +36x -72
So our polynomial could be
x^3 -2x^2 +36x -72 = 0
