They're equal, if you add the 0 or don't, it's still the same amount
The graph below is on the scale of five and I hope it is helpful.
P ( x ) has the given roots: ( i, 7 + 8 i ).
The complex roots of a polynomial P ( x ) with rational coefficients come in pair as:
a + b i and a - b i;
Additional roots are: - i, 7 - 8 i.
Lets suppose k is the constant of proportionality.
z = k * x / y
when x is 16 and y is 17, z has the value 11.294117647059
11.294117647059 = k * 16/17
Multiplying 17 on both sides
11.294117647059 * 17 = k * 16
192 = k * 16
Dividing 16 on both sides
192/16 = k
k = 12
Now when x= 22, and y= 26
z = k * x/y
z = 12 * 22 / 26
z = 10.1538461538 : Answer
Hope it will help :)
