What is the polynomial function of least degree with integral coefficients that has zeros 2 and 3i?

OpenStudy (ddcamp):

To find the polynomial with the least roots, multiply all the zero terms together If the roots were 1, -5, and 7, you could find it by expanding (x - 1)(x + 5)(x - 7)

OpenStudy (ddcamp):

But with yours, you have an imaginary term. One of the rules with imaginary terms is that if b*i is a root, then -bi must also be a root. So, your final zeroes are: 2, 3i, and -3i
