Algebra.Com's Answer #81932 by scott8148(6628)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! if 1+3i is a zero (root) then (x-1-3i) is a factor\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since complex roots occur in conjugate pairs, (x-1+3i) is also a factor\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so (x-1-3i)(x-1+3i) or x^2-2x+10 is a factor\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(x^4-2x^3+5x^2+10x-50)/(x^2-2x+10)=x^2-5\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this gives (x+sqrt(5)) and (x-sqrt(5)) as the two other factors \n" ); document.write( " |
