What is a fourth degree polynomial with integer coefficients that has the given zeros: 0,3,-2i.
------------
Since the coefficients are integer, 2i is also a root.
-----------------
f(x) = ax(x-3)(x-2i)(x+2i)
----
f(x) = ax(x-3)(x^2+4)
f(x) = x[x^3-3x^2+4x-12)
---
f(x) = x^4-3x^3+4x^2-12x
---------------------------------
