Hi
Got problem with these questions any suggestions?
Show that 2-i is a root of z^4 - 8z^3+28z^2-48z+35. Hence find all roots
and
Find all 5th roots of -32 and all 4th rots of 81i
In form x+iy where x and y in 4 DP
Thx
all the coefficients of the quartic are real so the complex conjugate is a root.
so we have two factorsand
.
sois a factor of your quartic, divide your quartic by this factor and then solve the quadratic to get the two remaining roots.
you want the solve the equationFind all 5th roots of -32 and all 4th rots of 81i. first rewrite -32 in the form of
![]()
tell me how it goes

Two things you should know:
1. Ifis a root then
is a linear factor.
2. If a polynomial has real coefficients andis a root, then
, the conjugate of
, is also a root.
Some of the questions you're asking suggest it would be a good thing for you to go back and thouroughly review this whole topic.
