I am stuck with how to break down the polynomial. \n" ); document.write( "------ \n" ); document.write( "The problem is that \"i\" is not a root of P(x). You can see that \n" ); document.write( "if you substitute \"i\" for \"x\". \n" ); document.write( "------------ \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "============== \n" ); document.write( " |
