Using the given zero, find one other zero of f(x). Explain the process you used to find your solution. 2 - 3i is a zero of f(x) = x4 - 4x3 + 14x2 - 4x + 13.

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

complex zeros always occur as conjugates i e a '+' and '-' number so in this case another zero is 2 + 3i ( paired with 2 - 3i)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The complex conjugate of the given root is also a root.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so for this answer how would i word this into an answer to turn in?

\[\huge{\color{red}{\text{Read Slowly Please.}}}\] The complex conjugate of the given root is also a root ! Nice:) Isn't it? So in this case another zero is 2 + 3i .......... (paired with 2 - 3i). as @AnimalAin said:) Now u already have 2 roots Therefore just make quadratic of these above 2 roots & divide f(x) then u will get another quadratic just solve that too u will get another 2 roots & thus all 4 roots are found :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oohhh, i see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so when turning this in.. how should i word this to explain my process used?

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

just like this : - I have used "Factorization & Division of Polynomials." for this question in my process.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, thankyou!

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

I think u have some doubt left. Sorry for my IQ. Actually I didn't gt wt u really asked. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):
