Algebra.Com's Answer #465479 by barunjha(4)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! option D is correct. \n" ); document.write( "Explanation: \n" ); document.write( "As this equation has one complex root, hence one of other two roots will also be complex and it's conjugate. so the complex conjugate of 2-i is 2+i. \n" ); document.write( "so the product of these two will be 5. third root will be -1/3\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " (x-2+i)(x-2-i)(x+1/3)= 3x^3 − 11x^2 + 11x + 5. \n" ); document.write( " |
