Are you trying to ask a question??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is your question???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The complex number 1 + (√ 2)i is denoted by u. The polynomial x 4 + x 2 + 2x + 6 is denoted by p(x). (i) Showing your working, verify that u is a root of the equation p(x) = 0, and write down a second complex root of the equation. [4] (ii) Find the other two roots of the equation p(x) = 0. [6]

what is the polynomial?? your question is in bits....can you put them together and tell me what the polynomial is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^4+x^2+2x+6

plug in the value of u into p(x)....if you get zero, you have proven its a root of p(x)=0...

are you there??
