Answer:

The irrational conjugate theorem states that if a polynomial equation has a root (a + √b), then we can say that the conjugate of (a + √b), i.e. (a - √b) will also be another root of the polynomial.

Explanation:

The irrational conjugate theorem states that if a polynomial equation has a root (a + √b), then we can say that the conjugate of (a + √b), i.e. (a - √b) will also be another root of the polynomial.

For example, if we consider a quadratic equation x² + 6x + 1 = 0, then two of its roots are - 3 + √8 and - 3 - √8 and they are conjugate of each other. (Answer)
