Question 1029046: n=4;i and 3i are zeros; f(-1)=40
I can't figure out how to turn it into a polynomial function.
Answer by stanbon(75887)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! n=4;i and 3i are zeros; f(-1)=40
-----
Since n is 4, -i and -3i must also be zeros.
--------------------------------------------------
f(x) = a(x-i)(x+i)(x-3i)(x+3i)
------
f(x) = a(x^2+2)(x^2+9)
-----
Since f(-1) = 40, let x = -1 , y = 40; solve for "a"::
a*(1+2)(1+9) = 40
---
a = 4/3
-------
Now you know what f(x) looks like.
