Question

Find a polynomial f(x) of degree 3 with real coefficents and following zeros. -4,4i

Answer 1

`f(x)=x^3 +4x^2 +16x +64`

Step by step explanation:

`\text{Given that, two roots are}~ -4~ \text{and}~ 4i.\\\\\text{Let,}\\\\~~~~~~~x = 4i\\\\\implies x^2 = 16i^2~~~~~~~;[\text{Square on both sides}]\\\\\implies x^2 = -16~~~~~~~~;[i^2 = -1]\\\\\implies x^2 +16 = 0\\\\\text{So,}~ x^2 +16~ \text{ is a factor of the 3 degree polynomial}.\\ \\ \text{The polynomial is ,}\\\\ f(x) = (x+4)(x^2 +16)\\\\~~~~~~~=x^3 +16x +4x^2 +64\\\\~~~~~~~=x^3 +4x^2 +16x +64`
