Algebra.Com's Answer #753061 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! multiplicity 2 means squared and zero of 1 means factor x-1 \n" ); document.write( "(x-1)^2 is part of this \n" ); document.write( "4i is a root, so -4i is one \n" ); document.write( "factors are (x-4i) and (x+4i) \n" ); document.write( "they multiply to x^2+16 \n" ); document.write( "the other multiplies to (x^2-2x+1) \n" ); document.write( "the polynomial is x^4-2x^3+x^2+16x^2-32x+16 \n" ); document.write( "or x^4-2x^3+17x^2-32x+16 \n" ); document.write( " |
