Question

Find the missing term (need help)

Answer 1

Answer:

x² - 10x + 34

Step-by-step explanation:

given the roots are x = 5 ± 3i then the factors are

(x - (5 + 3i))(x - (5 - 3i))

= (x - 5)² - 9i² ← expand (x - 5)²

= x² - 10 x + 25 + 9 → [ i² = - 1 ]

= x² - 10x + 34

the missing term is 10x
