Hence, if 2 + 3i is a zero, 2 - 3i is also a zero.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then your factors are: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the three factors and then collect terms to derive your 3rd degree polynomial. Hint for ease of computation: Consider the complex numbers to be a single number and remember that the product of two conjugates is the difference of two squares but that since \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "John \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Egw to Beta kai to Sigma \n" ); document.write( "My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
