Answer:

-2 - the square root of 3i is a known root

Explanation:

we know that

The conjugate root theorem states that if the complex number a + bi is a root of a polynomial P(x) in one variable with real coefficients, then the complex conjugate a - bi is also a root of that polynomial

we have that

The root of a function is
-2+√(3)i

so

Applying the conjugate root theorem


-2-√(3)i ---> is also a root of the function

therefore

-2 - the square root of 3i is a known root
