When trying to determine the distance between two points, one would use the distance formula.

The distance formula is attached above and all you need to do is plug in the points in order to get the distance.

For example, if you were to plug them in, you would get:

√(0+4)^2 + (0+2)^2

Find a third-degree polynomial function with real coefficients and with zeros at -4 and -3 5i

Charra [1.4K]

If -3+5i is a solution, then by the conjugate root theorem, -3-5i is also a solution. We find the polynomial by multiplying together the factors. If x = -4, then x + 4 is the factor. If x = -3+5i, then (x-(-3+5i)) is a factor, and so is (x-(-3-5i)). Simplifying those down gives us as the first factor as (x+3-5i) and the second as (x+3+5i). We can FOIL those 2 together to get their product, and then FOIL in x+4. FOILing the 2 complex factors together gives us $x^2+3x+15ix+3x+9+15i-15ix-15i-25i^2$ . If we combine like terms and cross out things that cancel it's much easier than what it looks like there! It simplifies down to $x^2+6x-25i^2$ . Since i^2 = -1, it simplifies further to $x^2+6x-25(-1)$ and finally, to $x^2+6x+25$ . Now we will FOIL in x+4. $(x^2+6x+25)(x+4)=x^3+6x^2+25x+4x^2+24x+100$ . Our final simplified third degree polynomial is $x^3+10x^2+49x+100$
