Given the zeros, -4, 5, -2, -√14, -2i; write a polynomial function or least degree that has rational coefficients. \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "To arrive at rational coefficients -sqrt(14) must be paired with +sqrt(14) \n" ); document.write( "and +2i must be paired with -2i. \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "Then: \n" ); document.write( "f(x) = (x+4)(x-5)(x+2)(x+sqrt(14))(x-sqrt(14)(x+2i)(x-2i) \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "f(x) = (x+4)(x-5)(x+2)(x^2-14)(x^2+4) \n" ); document.write( "etc. \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "---------- \n" ); document.write( " |
