there are a couple methods for finding a polynomial of degree 2 with zero at \(-2+3i\) a hard way, an easy way and a real real easy way take your pick
go with sat here
the real real easy way requires just memorizing something if the zeros are \(a+bi\) and \(a-bi\) then the quadratic is \[x^2-2ax+(a^2+b^2)\]
the fairly easy way is to take \[x=-2+3i\] and work bacwards add \(2\) \[x+2=3i\] square (carefully) to get rid of the \(i\) \[(x+2)^2=(3i)^2\\ x^2+4x+4=-9\]
that makes the quadratic \[x^2+4x+13\] by adding 9 would have gotten the same answer with \[x^2-2\times (-2)x+(2^2+3^2)\]
Method
we have n =3 , right?
Yes
that is the polynomial has degree 3, right?
Yes
so that it is in the form ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d =0 get it?
Yes
all that writing didn't help? dang
leading coefficient =1 means a =1, oh, I am sorry @satellite73
satellite could u help me again and accepted me as your friends
@kristinak Let read satelite's guide
@satellite sorry I need a step by step interaction process
Okay @Loser66
What will be the conjugate of -2+3i
@satellite73
the conjugate of \(-2+3i\) is \(-2-3i\)
not sure what is going on here with this question you want a polynomial with zero at \(-2+3i\) and \(1\) the quadratic that has \(-2+3i\) as a zero is \[x^2+4x+13\] so your final job is to multiply \[(x-1)(x^2+4x+13)\] to get your polynomial of degree 3
When I set it upside it'll be (x-1)(x-2-3i)
oh no
you want a polynomial with real coefficients, of degree 3, not complex coefficients of degree 2
one factor will be \((x-1)\) for sure but you also want to find the quadratic polynomial (degree 2) that has zero at \(-2+3i\) and \((-2-3i\)
No this is just to set it up
if you want ,(i wouldn't recommend it) you can write it as \[(x-1)(x-(-3+2i))(x-(-3-2i))\]
if your goal is to really find the answer, a polynomial with real coefficients of degree 3, then your actual job is to multiply \[(x-1)(x^2+4x+13)\]
That's how my teacher taught me
Buts what's a easier way to get to the answer
yeah i see the question i tried to explain how to get the answer before
would you like me to try again?
Yes
ok here we go you want a polynomial of degree 2 with a zero at \(-2+3i\) right?
No degree 3
ok lets go slow
one of the zeros is \(1\) so one of the factors of your polynomial is \((x-1)\) is that ok?
Yes
damn typo there one of the zeros is \(-2+3i\) the other is its conjugate \(-2+3i\) is that clear?
ack , conjugate \(-2-3i\) that is what i meant
so your next job is to find a polynomial of degree 2 with zeros at \(-2+3i\) and\(-2-3i\)
Okay I got that
lets to that
start by setting \[x=-2+3i\] and work backwards add \(2\) to both sides, get \[x+2=3i\]
then to get rid of the \(i\) square both sides (carefully) and get \[(x+2)^2=(3i)^2\\ x^2+4x+4=-9\]
add \(9\) and get \[x^2+4x+13=0\] and that is your quadratic \(x^2+4x+13\)
then to get your polynomial of degree 3, multiply \[(x-1)(x^2+4x+13)\]
you should get \[x^3+3 x^2+9 x-13\] which i hope is one of your answers
Let me try to do it on paper so I can show you what I get
@satellite73 I get x^3+3x^2+9x-13
yes
help me please
