Question from Adori, a student:

Find a polynomial with integer coefficients that has the given zeros: 2/3, 4, root of 3i, root of -3i.

Adori,

Are the zeros 2/3, 4, root(3) i and -root(3) i?

Harley

Adori responded

Yes

Adori,

If you look at our responses to similar questions here and here you will see how to obtain a polynomial with real coefficients that has the zeros you require. Can you see how to obtain a polynomial with integer coefficients?

Write back if you need more help,
