Find the polynomial function with roots 11 and 2i.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

if 2i is one root, then -2i is also a root

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

cuz comples roots come in pairs always

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so the roots are 11, 2i, and -2i the polynomial function wud be... ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x-11)(x+2)(x-2) ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

done forget the i :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x-11i)(x+2i)(x-2i)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

i is oly for 2i

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

11 is a real simple root

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

it wud be :- (x-11)(x+2i)(x-2i)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sooo (x-11)(x+2i)(x-2i) (x²-11x+24i)(x-2i)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

we can do that, but let me show u how to expand easily :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

(x-11)(x+2i)(x-2i) first expand the last two factors

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\((x-11)(x^2+4)\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

cuz, \((a+ib)(a-ib) = a^2 + b^2\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\((x-11)(x^2+4) \) now you can simplify easily ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^3-11x²+4x-44

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

very good work :) wolfram says the same : http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%28x-11%29%28x%2B2i%29%28x-2i%29

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you can test ur answers in that site
