Find a polynomial function of lowest degree with rational coefficients

xxMikexx [17]

Since -5i is a zero, then its complex conjugate +5i is also a zero of the function.

Therefore,

x + 5i, x - 5i , and x - 3 are factors of the polynomial.

Hence, the polynomial function, P(x), of the lowest degree with rational coefficients is given by

$P(x)=(x+5i)(x-5i)(x-3)$

Which implies that

$\begin{gathered} P(x)=(x^2-(5i)^2)(x-3)=(x^2-25i^2)(x-3) \\ \text{ Since i}^2=-1,\text{ then we have} \\ P(x)=(x-3)((x^2+25)=x^3+25x-3x^2-75 \end{gathered}$

Hence the polynomial is

$P(x)=x^3-3x^2+25x-75$

Factor 4x^2+81 over the set of complex numbers.

Hunter-Best [27]

$Use:\\\\i=\sqrt{-1}\to i^2=-1\\\\a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\--------------------\\\\4x^2+81=2^2x^2+9^2=(2x)^2-(-9^2)=(2x)^2-(-1)(9^2)\\\\=(2x)^2-(i^2)(9^2)=(2x)^2-(9i)^2=\boxed{(2x-9i)(2x+9i)}$
