Question 531345: Provide the requested response. Suppose that a polynomial function of degree 4 with rational coefficients has −3,−4,−5−ı as zeros. Find the other zero. Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Why you would use Unicode #305 (dotless i) to represent the imaginary number is beyond me. It is a regular old with a dot and is defined as .
Be that as it may, complex roots of polynomial equations ALWAYS come in conjugate pairs. That means if is a root, then is also a root. Your given complex root is , so the other root is the conjugate of
