Question

Write a polynomial function of minimum degree with real coefficients whose zeros include those listed. Write the polynomial in standard form. 

2, -4, and 1 + 3i

anonymous · Answer

the polynomial is (x-2)(x + 4)(x - (1+3i)

chris215 · Answer

what does the i mean

anonymous · Answer

i is an imaginary number

chris215 · Answer

ok I simplified it but it doesn't match any of my answer choices

chris215 · Answer

x^3+x^2−3x^2i−6xi−10x+8+24i

anonymous · Answer

let me guess if a polynomial has an imaginary root then it must occur in pairs but the question says that it had only one imaginary root which means that the polynomial has imaginary coefficients..please check the question
