?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

use the given hint

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

whats the conjugate pair of 3-i ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

conjugate of 3-i is 3+i

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

the hint says the imaginary roots come in conjugate pairs so both 3-i and 3+i will be roots

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

that means you need to find a polynomial with roots : \[4, ~3-i, ~3+i\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

use factor theorem : if "k" is a root of polynomial, then (x-k) is a factor

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so a polynomial with those roots can be represented as : \[(x-4)(x-(3-i))(x-(3+i))\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

simplify
