Find the roots of this quartic polynomial

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Solve this equation x^4 +4x^3 + 5x^2 + 2x -2 =0 one root being -1 + i

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Definately second root is goinfg to be :- -1 -i

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

well whats the quadratic that has those 2 roots...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2 +2x +2

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

ok... so then do some polynomial division or synthetic division to find the other quadratic.... then find the roots of it

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

does that make sense...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am doing it

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got x^2 + 2x +1

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

close... I got x^2 +2x - 1 |dw:1401343687770:dw|
