Question
Find a third-degree polynomial equation with rational coefficients that has thegiven numbers as roots.$$2 \text { and }-4 i$$
Step 1
However, since the coefficients of the polynomial are rational, the complex roots must come in conjugate pairs. Therefore, the conjugate of -4i, which is 4i, is also a root. Show more…
